Threaded inserts for cylinder head bolts?
Hello,
I have put excessive torque on the long M8 bolts of the cylinder head of a 1989 (1VJ) and the thread of the holes in the cylinder is damaged.
I planned to repair with a helicoil solution, but on the German XT 600 forum I read this is not a good solution.
An alternative would be to use threaded insert with een external M12 thread and internal M8. But there is such a small amount of material around the hole that I doubt this is a good solution.
Any experience with this problem and the solution is very welcome.
