He has done several glow plug <BR>> inserts in OS 1.60 heads for me, and a brass exhaust insert on a YS1.20 <BR>> for my Dad and a friend of mine. He does exceptional work, fast, and <BR>> at a very reasonable price, cheaper than buying the tools to attempt it <BR>> yourself, and far cheaper than a new head. And you cannot duplicate <BR>> what he does on exhaust threads without a whole lot of expensive <BR>> equipment. He has the correct machine tools and fixtures to do it <BR>> right, without any danger of getting things in crooked, which is easy <BR>> to do with Helicoils. I cannot recommend anyone more highly. To me, <BR>> it just isn't worth it to attempt it myself, because I have screwed up <BR>> helicoils before in larger sizes when I was racing cars, and it is no <BR>> fun even when you have more room to work than we do. <BR>> <BR>> Jon Lowe <BR>> <BR>> -----Original Message----- <BR>> From: Bob Richards <BOB@TOPRUDDER.COM><BR>> To: NSRCA Mailing List <NSRCA-DISCUSSION@LISTS.NSRCA.ORG><BR>> Sent: Thu, 23 Mar 2006 06:07:57 -0800 (PST) <BR>> Subject: Re: [NSRCA-discussion] Heli coils <BR>> <BR>> Dohhh!!!
