<VV> Re: Valve cover bolt and a Heli coil

[Cliff Tibbitts]

Paul and others,  I had great luck using the 1/4 Time-Sert repair kit as
well.  I have use the Time-serts on the valve covers, spark plug repair and
the 5/16 studs for the carburetors.  Not quite enough clearance in the
manifold to repair the long carburetor studs, but they worked well
everywhere else.  Good luck.

Hi one and all, I have two stripped sockets on the upper side of the valve
covers, one on each side.  I want to put on new valve covers.  Can I use a
Heli coil in the block of a 110? I'm not sure if there is enough room to tap
in new threads and use an oversided bolt.  Any expereince with this problem?
Thanks
