Heli coils and stuff

[agent75]

Hi there folks. had a fair bit on the ol plate lately so haven't been out to the track. been re building the gs450....... it's now a 500 so watch out!. it took a fair bit of fluffing around. Christchurch gasket co are pretty sweet. made me a new head gasket for a decent price.

I've just had an unfortunate incident when puttting the cam caps on.... pulled the thread out of one and need to heli coil. was gonna buy a kit today but at 70 or 80 squid for the whole kit when i only need one thread done i thought i'd try and see if anyone has an m6 kit which i could use for some Macs, Montieths..... or tasman bitter!

was hoping to make it out to puna this weekend ... i'll see how i go


kind regards
Shane

is this a slur on buckets or what

just because we race buckets dosent mean that we have old heaps that need fixing all the time
go ask some post classic guy about that

or better still go ask a friendly mechanic (if you can find any)
sweat talk him into lending or fixing it for nothing :P (some will some want 90 quid an hour )

if you where up here I could help out but sorry I'm not going down there to help. Unless the BOB is on and you pay the air fair for me and the bike

have fun I know your pain I have a sump plug to do (not on my bucket mind you)

good luck

I'm a bucket guy too but it;s a Honda so i've never had to fix it

I went to an engine reconditioners today and he's doin it for 25 bucks. not bad i thought. I'll be smokin some midfield arse in no time.

Nice

Hey, there'll be no shameless sponsor plugging on this thread.... oh, alright, go for it.. as long as i can plug mine. Thanks wallet.

got the GS back together and had a naughty ride round the streets. Its got a decent amount of poke now that she's a 5 hundy and actually has compression.

The helicoil worked out okay but the clown who did it got swarf EVERYWHERE. took ages to make sure it was all clean.

I actually might go racing at the bears on sunday afterall

SWEEEET
