RE: Saito 100 Rebuild or toss buyer be ware of used engine's and planes.
rcbearings.com is a pretty good place to get them. Look at the bottom of the case and it will tell you if the rod was hitting or not. There is a thread here that was just posted a short while ago about using the heli coil, the fellow did it himself. Just do a search, I think he mentioned where he got the kit and what little problems he ran into. The crock pot just needs to be on low over night and once you use it the pot can no longer be used for cooking. Mr. Lee doesn't charge very much for the service and with that IF IT FITS shipping through the post office it may be cheaper to just have it done?? I'm not sure about the cost of the heli kit for the plug size threads.
