spottedog Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Hilicoils fail in aluminum, use a Keensert instead, Have a machinist put it in, Your machinist may have the install tool, if not go here www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyCTh23Z6o0 to check it out. 1 Quote Link to comment

Stoffregen Motorsports Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 aw man i will booger that up tryin this first https://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=UTF-8&fr=crmas&p=stripped+threads+in+aluminum I think that's why spottedgog mentioned having a shop install it. Try it and let us know when it fails. Quote Link to comment
