only reason to strip a 6.0 valve cover is abuse and cross threading. i have worked on that motor while i was at ford more then i like to remember. seen alot of them threads wreaked as well as the torx bolts messed up on the oil rails. good job making it right again
Is it normal for them to strip, if so, why? Finally, good video.
Lot of times,we get the mig welder out to extract broken off bolts.Basically weld a nut on and the broken off bolt comes out the first time usually
Well Clay, this was a great video, and true Heli-coil repair does a fine job for the repair. But that don't mean I gotta like it. LOL!!! I hate putting Heli-coils in a stripped out bolt hole. Love the video! And tell Wally to quit setting down on the job!!!! LOL!!!!
Using a tap guide will help guide the tap until it gets started. A tap guide can be made from a steel block with a clearance hole for the tap drilled square thru the block on a drill press. I made several guides to tap hicoils for holley carbs on dodge trucks.
There the ticket used them a few times use black tread locker it ain't never coming back out
Still a better engine than the 6.4 lol
Hey Clay I own a diesel repair shop as well and our tech's always complain when they have to work on junk. But I always remind them that someone else's junk pays the bills, and if it was easy everyone would be doing it. Great videos!
That the truck.jc smith sold u clay
The problem is it’s a ford…
I saw metal shavings falling into the head boss….
