2AZ/1AZ Toyota: How to helicoil a headbolt thread.mp4

[@Connella2008]

i am going through this with a co-workers car. he has a 2002 toyota camry with the 2AZ-fe 2.4L 4 cylinder. i went online and bought the NS300L kit from Huhn Solutions for $375. it comes with everything you need including a jig to make sure you are drilling a tapping perpendicular to the mating surface. i highly recommend it.

Can you keep driving it as long as the coolant level is fine?

@@RonZ7 under what conditions are you asking about?

@@Connella2008 I have a 02 camry with stripped headbolts. Is it safe to drive as long as i keep the reservoir full and drive it under 3000rpms?

[@Connella2008]

@@RonZ7 my coworker was driving for an unknown amount of time on his stripped headbolts. he had no signs of the damage other than leaking coolant. as long as you keep an eye on the coolant level and the temp gauge, you should be ok. however, you really should get it fixed since topping off the coolant constantly is going to be costly. you will also be losing compression so you might get check engine lights.

Connella2008 My mechanic said just replace the gasket and bolts. But if the block threads are worn out I really need to consider time sert or helicoil right?

Forget about helicoils, use Time-serts. They are so much better!

Hi @noBulldustTV. I'm in New Zealand dealing with this same issue (using Sutton Tools/ReCoil M11 x 1.5mm thread insert kit). Where did you source that Tee-Bar extension for the tap. Any help gratefully recieved

A Timesert is the proper one to use for that repair rather than the Helicoil.

[@63Seddy]

He probably didnt pop that tang off to well and its partially still hung on the helicoil
