about 3 years back I tore a motor down to rebuild my rebuild.... (long story)
anyways, I only have myself to blame today I started bolting on the externals and tin found out that the CHT hole is stripped. motor is assembled and I really don't want to pull the head at this point for welding...... how do folks feel about a time sert or a heli coil in this application. I think I happen to have a heli-coil in the right size... but if I had to buy a time-sert to make it conduct the heat into the sensor I would do it. what do folk think? John, how would you tackle this repair? thanks in advance everyone. brant |

buy a tap, grind off the tip until its flat and the full profile of the body of the tap....you have a flat bottom tap now.
Local hardware store tap so you wont feel so bad grinding it down. I did that one in the car once (never again) and its not to bad. Timecert worked fine, readings were fine. Rich |
