Hi, just wondering does anyone know a company in essex or close by areas that can come out to a car and helicoil on a head?

Was doing the tappets on the cossie and putting the cams back in, torquing down the cam caps and one of the bolts started to pull out from the head, have tightened it back down but done up the nut on top at a lower NM but dont really want to risk leaving it like that, or would it be ok if i used some loctite on the end of the bolt and put it back in the head like that?

So what is the best thing to do?

Thanks in advance for the help.

 

Where abouts in essex mate?

I use a guy called mark from crackers engineering. He is very very very good at his job and gets me out of a lot of shit!

his number is 07899 915533

I don't know if he will come out that far tho.

 

just order the correct size helicoil u need and do it your self there easy to use and come with the tap and tool to wind them in

 

yes as said very easy done,

 

Use a time sert, much better, albeit costlier than a helicoil, otherwise pay some one to make a ragged grip stud to wind in.

Thanks everyone i will look into all those options see what one is best for me.
