Help....stripped Intake studs

[richirich1113]

Ther time-sert mite be spendy at first but in the long run.. the intake, exhaust and mounting studs and possibly the head studs(depends on motor) all use the same 6mm so it would most likly come in handy down the road. and you cant beat the ease and solidness of the time-sert repair.

like headsmess said...good luck getting an m-7 nut on with the intake in place.
There's a gnats hair of room between the intake tube and the stock m-6 nuts, so going up to an m-7 will make the nuts hit the intake tube and you won't be able to tighten them up.
helicoil or time-sert is the only answer...or just buy a new cylinder....they're cheaper than a helicoil kit.

Solution, works on all the 6mm, 1/4", and 7mm studs.

EXCELLENT idea!!!
yeah this would do the trick for sure with the m-7 studs and nuts.

Why....thank you. I use them on 6mm studs. This way I can use a socket to torque the nuts. Otherwise there isn't enough room for the socket on some applications.

theres also replacing studs with unbrakos or allen key screw thingies. usually have a 8-10mm head thats round... can even get sockets for them! a 10mm nut is a lot wider from point to point... about 13. m8 unbrakos around about a 12mm diameter head. and can always be made a lil bit smaller.

in all my time...while i have an m7 tap...ive only ever found one m7 thread in real life. and i think someone had been at that before me the tap came from a cheap kit i wouldnt buy myself... they come in sets of three per size and anything else is cheap and dodgy, and will probably break at the best time possible


maybe its more common in the US, but here... never seen it for sale, never needed it, wouldnt want it either. hard enough dealing with whitworth, unc, unf, unef, iso fine, bsp,bspt,unt, what else? theres more...lots more...
