Title: Helicoil success
Post by: disco51 on January 28, 2014, 12:19:06 PM

Successfully completed the valve cover helicoil repair yesterday.  Wasn't nearly as bad as I had anticipated.  It was my first attempt at a helicoil.  Didn't need to drill it out - just used the tap as recommended.  Thanks for all of the help.
Now, I'm thinking about tackling the fork drain plug that's being held with a rubber o-ring...

Well done!

I did the fork drain plug not that long ago, some details here:http://www.bmwr65.org/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1366922099/0#0
