All right, let's test it. Trying to get this thing centered left and right and up and down. I Don't want to drill sideways lubricant. it's very soft.

At a minimum we're going full send. The threads are looking real nice. I Like it. Go ahead and thread this inserts into position.

Thread it down and I think it's locking in. It's not want to go any further.

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Aussie Digger says:

    Helicoils are stronger than original threads

    time-serts are amazing.

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Alex Bradley says:

    I would tell ‘em I need a new motor

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dan Bristow says:

    What's up with that crack in the housing right above your repair?

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kai Thomsen says:

    I just bought a thresd repair kit for this same exact issue, bought a 02 subaru impreza from this lady and she told me the water pump was replaced, she was full of shit and only the bolts got replaced and in the process of removing them it took all the original threads with it

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jacob Cochran says:

    At least red lock tight that thing. I always do or sometimes i use a light coat of jb weld because i want that helicoil to be part of the hole not just threaded on it

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Smonk says:

    Good tip to anyone that values their money. Don’t buy Subaru or ford.

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jesuseyez619 says:

    Yeah, this repair would have been way more complicated if it required some sort of quality control lol. Specially aerospace industry -_-

    1) drill using drill block. not free handed.
    2) verify hole diameter using go/no-go using gauge pins
    3) tap hole
    4) verify threads using go/no-go thread gauges.
    3) use locking insert like a Key Inserts
    4) install insert using some sort of adhesive like aero glaze or other epoxy based adhesive.

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars libtards says:

    Junk ass Subaru's I hate those things

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars michael leonard says:

    Now, what are you gonna do about the crack?

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars JusSkott says:

    Don't mind that fatigue crack, it's not important. 😂

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Aaron Tandy says:

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Brian W Johnson says:

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Josh Jacob says:

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kyle Burke says:

    looks like theres a crack in it

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rich's Mobile Auto Repair says:

    Slow the drill bit speed down on steel.

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ben says:

    Use a bigger bolt they've already ruined any flush seal that was there with the surface like that the bigger bolt will mean there's still enough metal to hold

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Neychie says:

    I notice a crack next to the bolt hole that you are fixing, how would you fix that? I am not a mechanic, just saw it and am wondering. Thank you.

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jordan says:

    The area around the thread repair is where the water pump metal gasket seals. The surface is jacked and will probably end up leaking.

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Trucker ManJr says:

    I didn't see red Lock tight 😢

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars JokesAtInappropriateTimes says:

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars clayton :p says:

    As a Subaru tech I know that’s the water pump they are only torqued to about 6ft pounds so easy to mess up not saying it wasn’t the tech before you

  65. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bill Smith says:

    Look at that other 12 point bolt head . Unless that is to stop you from using 6 point impact sockets . Why 12 point ?

  66. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kurtis Williams Jr says:

    Should of put some red lock right on it

  67. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Eugene Albrycht says:

  77. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Neoclod says:

    Awesome job! I had to do a thread insert on the head, by the water pump a while back first time I've messed with it, it worked flawlessly!!

  78. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Idugaua Conan says:

    I can see a crack

  79. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Nicky Borrosino says:

    Those Time-Serts you are using are tapered at the bottom ends and need to be inserted properly with the driver tool to lock the insert into the material being repaired. The way you do this is to continue threading the driver all of the way through the insert after the insert is fully seated. This forces the tapered end of the insert to expand and lock into the material being repaired, preventing the insert from backing out.

  80. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Frasca says:

    Did you use Red Loc-tite on the insert????

  81. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Naughtius Maximus says:

    Mythinks Subarus are expensive junk but that’s probably good for mechanics. The boxers seem spent at 90k.

  82. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Shadetree Mechanic Racing says:

    For situations like that, I make a drill plate with brake line tubing as a guide.

  83. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars colasko says:

    Satisfying

  84. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Yew Tube says:

    Anyone else see the Stress line,cracked housing behind the bolt.

  85. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Not Your Mother’s Garage says:

    and once you tighten the bolt down the case will crack the rest of the way

  86. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Fabio Dias says:

    Well done Sir!

  87. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Richard Cranium says:

    Subaru, the worst vehicle we ever owned.
    So glad that it no longer occupies a place the the driveway. No Subaru ever will again.

  88. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Joseph Galarza says:

    You are a genius, be safe ,

  89. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gus says:

    Junk it! It is subaru!

  90. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars William findspennies says:

    The owner of that car is going to report it stolen 😂cause you've had it so long 😂😅

  91. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Justin Taylor says:

    Junk Subaru!!!! Buy a real car

  92. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Carlos Mario Álvarez says:

    Mi padre solia hacer insertos como ese con pernos a los que en el torno les abría un agujero interno y lo roscaba. Luego conoció los comerciales como este kit o los helicoidales pero aún recuerdo las tardes usando el torno

  93. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Billsfan17 says:

    You are a F'n magician damn bro the pressure of doing that and let alone recording lol very impressive

  94. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ihatecrackhead says:

    TIME-SERT is much better than helicoil

  95. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars D-RAGE Runningflames says:

    Hope you put some lock tite or thread locker that heli coil.

  96. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Some Person⚇ says:

    I work in a non-automotive profession that frequently uses those helicoil inserts. They don't last for Jack.

  97. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike Johnson says:

    Beautiful job ray like always

  98. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars S R says:

    Hint: the proper cutting fluid for aluminium is actual alcohol and you can also use brake cleaner that will give the shiny thread cut. Cutting oil is for steel. Rocol makes a superior product for aluminium ULTRACUT EVO 280.

  99. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tykoderz says:

    I have chased holes on subaru blocks with taps with a lot of success. The torque on those arent very high so its doable.
