FYI I was able to get at this hole on the car by pulling the drivers side mount, front mount, rear mount and putting a jack under the transmission and another jack under the oil pan. If I had the luxury of the pulling the engine to do it I would have just to be 100% sure I was going in totally straight with a level drill – but I did not have that luxury. I’ll post in about 6 months and let ya’ll know if the repair held up OK. I used Helicoil 5543-10 M10 x 1.25 Metric Fine Thread Repair Kit.
Did you originally use a heli-coil and now want to use a time-sert? iirc, Time-sert makes a kit specifically for use after a failed heli-coil repair. Check out their website for all the solutions they offer.
a year later and it’s still working fine, I think it’s one of the best options for repairing damaged threads
how do you remove the helicoil out if it doesn’t work good? im going to try to rethread and using a bigger bolt this time since i already thread it once.
how did you get the helix coil in so easy. when i did mine it was so hard twisting it in…
You’ll want to use the updated bolt. I can tell you that the old bolt that you DO NOT want to use is 51 mm or 2″ long measured from the bottom of the head to the end of the threads. I don’t have a measurement on the new bolt, I don’t have one to measure at this time.
i have a 2001 civic ex vtec and i am doing a gates timing kit. it comes with the new longer bolt, such i use the new bolt or the old one?
You might be able to do it if you can tilt the front of the engine high or low enough to clear the body to do the repair but I don’t think you could tilt the motor enough without risking breaking a cv boot, motor mount or something else. The timing belt area is very tight on these cars.
Do you know if you would’ve had enough space to do this without pulling the engine?
Thread size is M10 x 1.25 for the D17 motor. I used a time-sert insert p/n 10122
Sorry thread*
What size insert was that? I stripped my bolt on my a2
Awsome vid very useful!
same here in the U.S. I couldn’t find a local retailer for time sert so I had to order the kit online. Another thing to consider is that these kits are more expensive than a helicoil kit. I think it is worth the extra money for certain applications such as spark plug threads and head bolt threads.
Up here in Canada I don’t seem to be able to find Timeserts, though Helicoils are easily available. The timeserts seem better, though I’ve never used them before.
