Default RE: Thread Repair

Todd,


Welcome to RCU.

You can do a search about this subject within the Glow Engines forum.

It has been discussed several times lately.


A Heli-Coil will solve your problem, but the kit (for 10 repairs) is very expensive.
You need the 1/4-32 thread, which is rare UNEF. Another thread will not work!

Or if your engine is made by a 'normal' company (not OS, TT, Etc.) buying a new head will probably cost less...


Edit: Clarence Lee of RCM offers thread repair for a competitive price.
