I thought the heli coil had to go to the bottom of the hole. You taught me something today thank you

[@robwright8652]

You're a great teacher. Inspiring confidence. Thanks

[@MrDanielSoliz]

Thanks Danny I have never done this before.

[@ferdsperfel]

Nice video. As others have said, I like the alignment block tip. Very smart and easy. Thx.

[@MrDanielSoliz]

Glad it was helpful!

[@charles_wipman]

We had several drawers full of those helicoils of diferent sizes, we just called 'em "muelles"; what i liked the most has been those two tips, at least one rev down the hole and recycle what you've, it could be a tool, not trash. Take care and be well was great to have you back, to have everyone back.

[@aroundlinemen]

Great tips

[@RaysLaughsAndLyrics]

Thanks 4 sharing Dani. The alignment jigs are a steller method to obtain superior results. Best to you and yours.

Same to you!

Awsome Exelent Exebition. Te Avientas 🎉

[@A_R912]

thanks for the advice. ive always thought helicoils were installed flush. Thanks for the 1 1/2 thread below advice.

[@victormarekii9788]

nice job! I needed to know about the tap. was not sure if if was the same as a tap and die and you said it is a special size. thanks for the info.

[@MrDanielSoliz]

The heil-coil kit comes with the tap,coils and installation tool. 👍

[@rbrown3164]

Great video !

[@MrDanielSoliz]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@smiley4288]

Nice video with neat tips 👍😎🥵

[@MrDanielSoliz]

Thanks 👍

[@mikegoodman447]

Danny a tip for you. I recently tore the crap out my thumb nail worse than yours. I "Repaired it" with super glue and a tea bag. Cut out two or three tea bags the size of your thumb. Now like laying out fiber glass put one nice drop of super glue on your thump nail and smooth it out a bit and lay the tea bag over it and smooth it out. Apply another drop and repeat the process. Once you have the two or three layers built up let it dry hard.. Use a nail file a smooth it out. Not only does the nail look better it also reinforces it better than new. Absolutely amazing. As the nail grows out just adding super glue builds it back up.

[@MrDanielSoliz]

Thanks for that tip , I’ll have to give it a try. Thanks

[@LysergicCasserole95]

BIg gator tools makes a nice drill guide!

[@yourolddad6407]

Part of the reason you back off on the tap when cutting is to clear the chips off. This makes for a smoother cut thread. I cringe when ever I see those shows where some guy just chucks the tap up in a drill and has at it.

[@jonathanbrown834]

Best video yet. Thank you

[@MrDanielSoliz]

Glad you liked it!

[@jonathanbrown834]

@@MrDanielSoliz ordered my helicoils . The inserts don't fit the tool snug. It's like they are tad bit bigger. Is that normal?

[@MrDanielSoliz]

@@jonathanbrown834 yes they are slightly bigger the the install tool, when there installed they will be the right size.

[@jonathanbrown834]

@@MrDanielSoliz ok thank you. Here we go. Hopefully I do this just as you did. Thanks for the help..

[@jonathanbrown834]

It came out good thank you

[@aaronshall9258]

Use tools, don't be a tool! Hahaha! Word's of wisdom Danny, words of wisdom:) Hi shopmom:)

[@aaronshall9258]

That could be a button too:) but the " I'm in training" is still the best:)

[@mikegoodman447]

Nice video. Like to add you can get longer depth helicoils for deep holes.. Although not recommended by helicoil I would have cleaned the hole with acetone and added loctite to the helicoil. Then had a greased bolt to put in the hole with a spacer long enough to allow me to torque it down.. Let it set to cure and then remove bolt. That way all the slack is removed in the threads and it is as solid as the block.......This would be over kill for most repairs. Just my 2 cents.

[@bobbybishop5662]

AB Tools makes the best helicoil kits going. Comes the proper drill, tap , sturdy driver tool and tang breaker punch , 8 inserts. About the same price as s the kits that only come with the tap and driver & inserts from other companies .

[@funkanic06]

Hi can I install this in a sump pan im just worries about the thread mixing in the oil?

[@howardhutchinson]

Hi Danny Can you do video on how seal savers work and how to install them. When the old seal has worn a groove into the output snout of the crank shaft, it's suggested to use a seal saver along with a new seal. How this all works?

[@MrDanielSoliz]

Great idea, they have also changed how there made and I found a better way to do it. Awesome thanks. Can’t wait for the next one. 👍

[@CX2Pilot]

Thanks for making this video, extremely helpful!! This is the first time I used a helicoil to repair a stripped out hole. I made an aluminum drill hole guide as suggested which allowed me to drill a nice straight hole. Is the helicoil removable (drill it out) once it is inserted should it get stripped in the future?

[@MrDanielSoliz]

Glad it was helpful and yes you can remove it but not by drilling it. Just take a pick and get behind the coil and it will pull right out with some pliers. Pulls right out and you can install a new coil.

[@CX2Pilot]

@@MrDanielSoliz Sounds good, thanks!

[@Jared45513]

And it didnt go in the motor!! Lol great walk through and good tips along the way

[@MrDanielSoliz]

Thanks 👍

[@rickroberts4848]

Wow some great tips. Just when i thought i knew how to use a helicoil. Only issue i ran into was breaking the tang. What about stacking helicoils?

[@MrDanielSoliz]

I should of spent a little more time on the tang breaking and you should be able to stack them.👍

[@wkbrantley1]

What do you do in a spark plug hole to prevent shavings in the cylinder?

[@MrDanielSoliz]

Wheel bearing grease on the tap work great. 👍

[@maniyan_wanagi]

It slices, it dices, it juliennes, Heli-Coil!

[@lonniehamilton914]

Great job, t the best I have seen, thinks

[@MrDanielSoliz]

Wow, thanks!

[@chriscs9080]

Why do you have to cut threads so deep when helicoil only uses few of them ... I dont understand , could you please explain ?

[@MrDanielSoliz]

You should only need to cut as many threads as you need, just make sure you cut enough.

[@mahmoudhasnaoui1279]

You talk too much
