Could you explain why you used the insert verses a heli-coil?
Thank You
In a word, that insert is more robust than a heli-coil. I left it up to the person that machined the head to make the call on what to use. From what i have HEARD the threads tend to rip-out when using no insert and just tapping the aluminum. So while a guy is here, may as well put something in there.
I have always heli-coiled pretty much everything aluminum (and even some old Stage 5 cast iron) but after seeing your pictures i got to thinking maybe heli-coils weren't always the way to go. i have both types on hand.
Thank you for the reply.
