Holden VL Turbo Commodore Build - How to repair a damaged thread (Helicoil Install)

Repairing the damaged exhaust stud thread on the VL Turbo Build.

Great videos, very helpful. With your turbo coolant lines, are you using aeroflow gear with fire sleeve? I've got a low mount setup with an AVO manifold, spacer and aeroflow lines(unsleeved). It looks ok but wondering if I'll run into any issues with heat and/or friction.

Yep, I’ve got Aeroflot sleeve on my oil drain on both my high and low mount setups, the other lines have plenty of space between the manifold and the lines.

Good stuff Dale. Just curious, what are the turbo specs, and AR size, etc?

[@dalevloghlan8771]

I’m not entirely sure what the specs are, it was on my white Calais when I bought it, I do know it appears to be gt3076r gen 1 compressor housing and it’s running an xr6 turbine housing, it barely fits as a low mount on the factory manifold, it spools quick though👌🏼

Hey mate love the vids I use to live in newy years ago What sump are you using? I'm building a VL RB30Det as well, will it be good sump on a low VL

[@dalevloghlan8771]

Newy is a sweet spot mate 👌🏼 I’ve got the Aeroflow sump on that engine, it’s fine for a low car, it’s no deeper that a normal sump, just wider if that makes sense.
