Installing Heli-Coil style thread inserts. They cheaper, faster, and easier to install than Time-Serts. They do not require counterboring or thread locker. You don’t need threadlocker on this insert because it’s a spring and made of spring steel. The insert locks itself in place from the tension as it winds into the threads. Once you get about halfway in, the coil is under enough stress that it grabs tight and won’t back out, so your committed at that point. That’s what gives it a solid hold wit

Fixed the damaged threads in my transmission using a thread repair insert kit so I could bolt the starter back on correctly. These helicoils are made from spring steel and designed to go in one way only, so they don’t need Loctite. The spring tension keeps them locked in place permanently. It’s an easy fix for stripped threads in aluminum housings like transmissions and engine blocks, and I’ll show you how to do it step by step. #CarRepair #TransmissionRepair #Helicoil #StarterInstall #ThreadRep
