Default How to install a Heil-Coil

How to install a Heil-Coil

The subject is a Toyota 2ZZ engine block

The bolt holes were cracked and then were welded making the holes out of line. The heil-coil will make this a simple fix.
The tools needed will be a Drill motor, the proper sized drill bit for the heil-coil kit, the heil-coil tap, install tool, and the heil-coil insert.

Tap the hole to its oversize.
*NOTE* Heil-Coil taps are an odd size.
On aluminum use a cutting fluid.

Now put the insert on the install tool

Now carefully screw the insert into the threads that were just cut, being careful not to apply too much force and skip a thread.

Once the insert is in properly, snap the bottom tab off and blow it out of the hole.
