Gave this a "LIKE" simply because he listed the options as "A" and "TWO". Been doing this since my wife and I met. She only noticed recently. Now it drives her nuts.

Good Video. When working on a race car pit crew years ago, we Heli-Coiled all of the critical holes that we could and they never failed. We even Heli-Coiled the lug nuts because we had several times where they would get cross threaded before we Heli-Coiled them. I think the threads were getting worn even though we used Anti-Seize every time the nuts were removed. We never had to replace a Heli-Coiled lug nut despite going on and off hundreds of times and they never cross-threaded. Likewise, with the other Heli-Coils, we installed in the engine and other critical areas - they NEVER had to be replaced and we never had the threads pull out. Heli-coils with hardened stainless steel threads are far stronger than aluminum or cast iron. We've used thousands of them in the past 45 years in business. If you watch how loose the Time Sert was when being installed into the hole, it likely would have failed an official thread test. It is strongly recommended to use oil whenever drilling or taping metals. Otherwise, you get holes and threads cut oversize - and lose a lot of strength. Of course you want to degrease the outside of the Time Sert as well as the hole when planning to use Locktite to retain the TIme Sert. With Helicoils, you never have to use Locktite because the spring pressure prevents them from moving and we always used oil to install the Heli-coils. Both are great products - especially with aluminum blocks, heads and so many other parts. The Time Serts work well on plastic too (such as intake manifolds, etc). We use a soap solution for lubrication when installing either Time Serts or Heli-Coils in plastic parts to maintain hole and thread size within specifications.

beautiful video !!!!!! very helpful, now to practice and use it on the work field.

Heli-coils are not a 'one time use' or 'emergency repair only'. I've used them many times.

Thanks for the video. Just an FYI, Time Sert’s instructions stress that you want to avoid bottoming out the insertion tool. So only run the tool through the Time Sert until it gets easy to turn, which means the bottom threads have expanded and locked the insert into the hole. No need to go any further.

Heli is great! If you can't drill or tap straight, why would I take your opinion?

Great job explaining these options. Thanks.

I'm sold on time-serts for their ability to handle a lot of torque. I repaired 7/16 inch mounting holes for a 62 Fairlane strut bracket, using fine threads to increase torquing power. They are costly and a blind hole sometimes doesn't offer enough room to run the insert tool deep enough to flare out the insert. Heli coils are fine in low torque applications. I used them to repair the carb stud holes on my vintage edelbrock intake, and they are just fine. And far less expensive.

Great video as always! 👍

Caliper thread repaird whit stainless hardsteel time insert, came in a kit. Drill tap metric m9 1.25 Strong and saved a lot of hassle changing complete hub. Good video. Thanks.

Thanks for the video was very helpful.👍

Timesert is right. Good advice.

Fun video, very informative. Thank you very much

Buen vídeo felicitaciones saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷

Great video for sure I was debating between going with a helicoil and comparison to the time sert. You've helped me make my decision I will be going with the Time-Sert. How long do these timeserts last? Thanks again

I would definitely use a Time Sert with red Loctite, seems like a winning combination.

Very helpful video! Presumably if you were doing this "for reals" you'd want to use (a) a drill press, stepping up the drill bit sizes, (b) a tap handle to guide the tap (maybe (c) a tap follower too since you've got the drill press), (d) cutting fluid, and (e) compressed air to blow out the swarf and the broken tab of the helicoil.

Great video - In shop class we were always taught to use cutting oil / motor oil whenever drilling or cutting threads. WD40 is a good cutting oil as well

good video. the guy is not an obnoxious know it all. did not talk for 20 minutes only to show the difference between the two

I have used a keen sert with the small keys that you drive in locking the insert permeant.

Used time serts for years in the air cooled vws

Using a tap wrench instead of a spanner gives much better control and helps to keep the tap straight. Clamping the casing so it doesnt spin is aslo a good idea for several reasons and don't forget your safety glasses especially using compressed air to eject the cuttings🤕 All being said great video to show the comparisons. Thank you

I've just bought an M10x1.0 from Wurth. Sheared a bleed nipple on an Audi RS4 Caliper.. decided on the Timesert due to the solid insert..

Not sure if you'll reply but I've just got onto my old bike mechanic he's gonna reppace my heli for a timesert it seems so much better especially for my situation being a hg bolt into crank case for head gasket

Ugh😪 so hard to watch him strip them on purpose... my stomach went down to my knees... I almost cried a little bit 🥺

Do you sell time serts? I’ve needed a couple different sizes like your helicoil kits before.

So is the Time Sert Threaded all the way onto the Driver Tool before you thread it into the newly tapped hole? Or is the Driver tool only partially threaded into Time Sert when you start to thread it?

The dealer says my rear gearbox plug threads are nonexistent and he’s going to fix it with some kind of pipe plug. I’m not mechanical but stumbled here in trying to educate myself. I want to understand the problem and be able to fix it myself if it reoccurs. How do I know what size Time-Sert to order for my ATV? I don’t even know where to start or how to search for it. Thank you for a great video!

Well never heard of a time sert. Been using heil coils for years. But I would like to see a cost comparison. Heli coils have got ubber expensive like everything else. I have a few kits I've paid in excess of $75.00 each, to fix one hole. But that expense was also I needed it right now rather than waiting a week or 2 for an online order. I have heli coiled head threads with no problems. Sometimes I drill out the alcoa and put in heli coils simply because over time the metal to alcoa monster growls and threads pull. And yes brake clean and red loc tite.

Nice bit of dovetail bolting.

What if there is a hair line crack on the inside of the crankcase.i have a stripped out head bolt on my100 cc 2 cycle mortor what can i do to save it.its a new mortor any tips

Awesome teaching skills!

Can I do heilcoil on my reeds cage ?

I've used both and preferable use time serts

Why did you not show how to setup the helix oil insert tool and insert?

Great video.... A huge help is to drill out the threads in steps with oil on the drill, and the drill will follow the hole, and maintain the correct hole size much better than going in with just 1 drill.

Timesert or helicoil to repair stripped thread on a strut mount hole?

The tool for inserting the helicoil is used to remove the tang. Just twist in opposite direction. It naturally locks in place as unscrewing it expands it. It can't go anywhere. By using punch you run the risk of dislodging the bottom thread or two of the coil insert. JS 😜

Helicoils are better than time-Serts. There are at least 3 YT videos showing the failures of both. The Helicoils fared better than time-Serts.

I stripped the cam chain tensioner bolt on a 2018 honda grom. What route should I take?

Helicoils are incredible, Ive used them to on engine heads and are pretty much rated for at least 200lbs ft.

I had a thread repaired in a 500 Caddy intake manifold. It holds a bolt that secures the compressor but also blocks off vacuum as well as it goes through the intake runner. Bad design in my opinion. The machinist went with the Time Sert because of the durability.

Great video mate 👍 I'd advise anyone with access to a drill press to use that instead of a cordless drill. It looked like it wasn't completely square due to this method.

which one do i use for my toilet?

There are always pros and cons - helicoils are good if the hole has good clearance but not too much and if installed properly - people always forget to drill out all the parent thread - and this can jack out the helicoil - they can skip threads if you dont pull slightly against them when carry out its installation- helicoils are prices well and robust - the cons are if the thread has hole has too much clearance the helicoil will not fix that - Time certs - industry standard / expensive - can fix a hole with larger clearance but a deep hole can present problems if there is no suitable counter bore to sop against and drilling a counter hole at the top to make it flush can also be problematic if there is an oil or water groove close by or the wall thickness is not there - so pros and cons one is no better than the other - its just that industry has leaned towards a solid insert rather than a coil - but that does not make it a better product…..!

Do you put locktite or some thread locker on the helicoil?

Hi. I’ve 2005 Suzuki Boulevard C50 but when I put it in gear, it doesn’t move, the clutch just raise but no movement. Please help me with amending that problem.

is the coil really important in this process cause you already used the tapping to carve the thread , what is the advantage of using the coil ?

you don't need a punch to break the tang you just remove the installation tool turn it 90 degrees, push down and break the tang then remove it from the hole. helicoils can be used indefinitely they are not one time use only. they are also stronger than time serts and take more torque to yield.

No links to the kits?

you must be getting board, but thax for the vid

Square edge punch then you use a roll pin punch

Where's the NS300L ?

i dont know shit but id probably use the cutting oil to begin with thanks for the video

Why did he drill first and not just Tapp and insert

Heli Coil was invented and used in air craft engines. Was much stronger than the original threads. To say it is a temp fix is not true. Heli Coil is a proven technology. Also, your first hole you drilled was crooked.

WHAT NO LOCTITE ON THE HELICOil

Don't mention yamaha xjr torque settings for sump pan..way to high 40nm never never never..

Project Farm beat you to this, and by an alarming amount of data presented too.

🇸🇦👌1

That man cant drill or tap a hole straight to save his life!

Time Sert all ways 🤟😎

Meanwhile just had this happen to me during head install on my aluminum 5.3 head install and got so mad I cried. And he just does it on purpose 🙄

Didn't even tap it straight !! Neither one !! Unbelievable

this was hard to watch

in out in out in like fuc*** just pull out or one less bikes cause babies and stuff

So much wrong with this video, please don’t use this as a “how too” more of a “how NOT too”!!!

Just say "NO" to Ugga, Dugga's!!!

time-serts sucks 😂😮😂😮😂😅

Heli coil is stronger and more resistant to corrosion than the other hole repair kits!
