Don't use a heli-coil, wont be strong enough if you've ripped alot of threads out. What you've done happened on my old c20let block.

I have what you need. It's a time sert kit. Cost me £170, only needed it for one head bolt aswell

. Works a treat & would be much stronger than a heli-coil.

How much

I could make those things at work. Have access to helicoils too but M11's a right awkward size.

£170. Is that bad then? To be honest, I wouldn't want a cheap couple of quid heli-coil holding a head bolt in. You pay for what you get. Bottom line is if you use a heli-coil & it doesn't hold the head bolt in, what will happen?

If you can make a time sert kit crack on mate.

Wasn't having a go mate, just for what they are they're quite expensive. You'd either need to be skilled as fuck or a very expensive machine to make them though. How many did you get in a kit?

I'm not dead sure on heli coils and am not sure on what kind of pressures they take. But at work I've used a heli coil on a pump that was running at 100 Bar or something.

It's 10x stronger than a heli-coil. Don't forget the size m11 is weird hence it being more expensive. I got 6 time serts plus all the tools, you can buy the time serts seperatley but you have to provide all the numbers that comes with the kit.

Still in the garage collecting dust. I'm not being funny mate, but i don't know you from adam. I'm not going to lend a £170 bit of kit out to someone who i don't know. Don't take that the wrong way either mate, just see it from my point of view.

Who's Adam?

I agree with Luke though - your local engineering shop should be able to sort you out with something like a time-sert I'd have thought?

Unless you want to pay Luke £170 for it, and get most of that refunded when you return the kit - that's another way that could work

cheers for all you help guys i have done it now i will upload pics later, i ended up getting 110mm head bolts and it torqued down fine. I realised that fitting a heli-coil would have left me with around 5-10 threads and i still had 12 threads left in the block.
