CLASSSIC Del-splaining - Helicoil

[@underwaterwatchesunderwater]

As a complete newbie to the world of wrenching, I'm so glad I came across the Dirty Garage Guy channel before I came across Del's. To someone starting out, he sounds knowledgeable and confident. Thanks for saving me from listening to false information =)

[@freesteamer3463]

Get Del on the Repair Shop , He can be the mechanical expert , people would be crying every episode when he shows them their treasured possessions he has fixed.

[@Eluderatnight]

I worked as a machinist in a marine engine reman shop and had to do helicoils daily. Getting rid of seized bolts and or broken taps is where the real fun lies.

Can't be stuck if it's liquid

[@Manuqtix.Manuqtix]

This guy is so full of confidence. You’ll believe him if you are not sure

[@chrispomphrett4283]

Ooh..er I must have been doing these wrong all these years. I'm so glad I saw this and thus the error of my ways. Thank you Del from the heart of my bottom..😅

[@Shifty-t5w]

Hes explaining the Dellicoil, cmon now.

[@richandiben]

My mrs had one of those fitted.

[@NickTaylorRickPowers]

Did you leave it in the sink afterwards?

[@melthebelgian.5837]

Is that a zx7r in the background? What a great example of a classic motor bike, so nice to see a rare red one. I hope he restores it and doesn't make a real Kent of himself destroying into a "cafe racer street fighter" thing. Would love to see what it looks like in 5 years after he's done 100,000 miles on it, I'm sure it will be factory perfect.

Would have pissed myself if it tore his glove... "Perfectly flush"

[@lyonindustries3332]

This is definitely dells first time doing this.

[@theshedmonster]

So if its a spark plug you end up with all the swarf and bits in your piston unless you strip the lot... he did use as an example at the beginning..

[@GTMarmot]

Fitting a helicoil is something described in the instructions - piece of cake. As for the forces acting on the threads when a bolt is tightened down, an accurate description is given in Automotive Engineering by Heinz Heisler.

Thread Flintstone, don't make him cross!

[@alanrichardson1672]

Class absolutely class- he never stops giving !! 😂😂

[@Beefbikes]

Definitely repairing a balls up he. Created himself

[@fredmercury1314]

It's pretty clear... To start with he gave two examples and then said "and others", so his example didn't need to be a through bolt example. He also clearly stated that the bolt head is tight against the [whatever it's tight against], and therefore the bolt cannot go any further. It can't go any further without ripping the head off the bolt. It doesn't need to be bottoming out, and it's clearly not bottoming out. Then you tried to prove that "stretching the thread" means "stretching the bolt" by Googling specifically for "stretching the bolt" and looking at pictures of stretched bolts. Lot of stone you're throwing in that glasshouse that you're sitting in. Careful not to get cut...

[@gafrers]

GOLD. Del-splaining never fails. What a complete colossal Kent.

[@latemnf]

I'm liking this one before i even watch it.

[@stevesanelli90]

A classic DingleDell rubber gloved example.

[@georgenegrics4274]

Nice one, any more ginger vids coming Sir?

[@russellladlow9953]

tighten it up till it goes slack then back it off half a turn

7:09 "Not an engineer" you say Matt?? Del-splain this Del video to me then: "Simple Skills", Make Your Own Stainless Thread Insert ! 🤣 Seems like he's been to 'engineer night-school' in the last two years then lol

[@johnroberts1585]

As you pointed out matt he didn't tap the hole straight so am i Wright in saying that is why thet little bit of helicoil wes sticken out ,ime no expert but am i right.John

[@bobhacking1431]

Owwww righty loosey

[@ExhaustCraft1968]

Most people should know time-sert inserts are way way better. Never used a Helicoil in my life

[@Racing_Fox]

Time-serts are much better, but also much, much more expensive

[@jadeshaw1867]

Both the sump and sparkplug would be far better to use a time sert or a copy. Wouldnt ever use a helicoil on those 2. Or anything that holds liquid or is pressurised. And im an absoloute novice with basic tools.

[@ExhaustCraft1968]

@@cliveramsbotty6077 They are better, full-stop. Use what you like, I will stick to Time-sert inserts, never let me down yet, used them for forty years or so

[@chrisnoname2725]

​@@jadeshaw1867I used a helicoil for the spark plug hole on my ride on mower. It seems to be fine after twelve years

[@paulaven9457]

I've just repaired the thread on my spark plug. I've snapped the 'tang' off but my question is how much WD40 do I use to wash the tang out?? 😂

[@mattblackledge9068]

Another brand new kit that has never seen the light of day before or since.

[@mattblackledge9068]

How much do you weigh?

[@classicbikelife]

Del-icoiling 😂

[@michaeldemetriou1399]

George Harper told me, the Bolts in the pictures Matt showed, have suffered from Bolt Squeeze, not Bolt Stretch. Dell also explained the bolt may appear to stretch but hasn't it just got longer, because of Hole Squeeze.

[@UnCivilEngineerIRL]

The 'applicator tool' seems like more of a hinderance than anything tbh. For one, it limits the depth you can go to ... and it seems to offer no benefit whatsoever 🤷‍♂🤦‍♂

[@ingusrudniks3951]

"learn in school" you said, but what about fact that this one was born in bus. It's so posh to brag about education meantime some one still picking up simple skills !

[@Beefbikes]

Cylinder head bolts torque to thread not torque to yield 😂

[@sidwainhouse]

Applicator tool? Is it a Tampon? Used by a Kent?

[@chasejdmartin]

"Like a cartridge exit on a gun." If he was a para wouldn't he call it a ejection port?

[@yorkshirebikerbitsnbobs]

He'd also be calling it a rifle. Guns are for ships, tanks and fields etc.

[@thruxt0677]

Thank fuck when I first used a helicoil on a engine casing I watched Andy's Obsession first.

[@750triton]

So the muppet who strips a thread, is now going to drill a hole dead square to the faces and wont bust through the other side? I wonder of he wants to buy the LH UNF Helicoil insert tools I have spare 😅

[@UnCivilEngineerIRL]

What is happening, Matt ... mate ... you actually moved your mush so we could see what's up !? Now that's proper factory !

[@wibblywobblyidiotvision]

He doesn't realise his (largely pointless) sleeve tool is pre-shrinking the helicoil. He also doesn't realise we can see. What a plonker.
