Stripped Thread Repair: Helicoil vs. TimeSert vs. JB Weld | The Shop Manual

Stripping out threads on your motorcycle is a terrible feeling, but don’t worry, those threads can be repaired! In this video from The Shop Manual we’ll discuss your options, including chasing the threads, installing a Helicoil insert, installing a TimeSert insert, and even using JB Weld.

That neon sign is lit. Also - did you customize your sling with ROK straps? That's peak motorcyclist right there. ~RF9

I'm not sure which hurts more: Ari's shoulder or his soul from intentionally stripping that drain thread. I hope both get a speedy recovery.

It will be a sad day when Ari & Zack retire.
I literally got into motorcycles because of these 2 & their bromance!

To keep shavings from falling into the cylinder, set the piston at bottom dead center and fill the cylinder with shaving foam. Once you're done creating shrapnel, turn the engine over to squeeze out the foam which will carry out the shavings.

Grease on the tap to catch the metal filings.
Good trick! I learned something today.

Stop hurting yourself, man. This community can't afford to lose you.

Excellent comparison test! Thank you! As a machinist, I've only ever installed helicoils in aluminum aerospace parts. Always wondered why we never use timeserts but your video cleared that up for me!

This was an extremely well done and informative post (as usual) - Bravo. Sorry to see that you clipped your wing, Ari, but that's why we love ya - you are the real deal. Great stuff.

I hope you're ok. I've heard that torn ligaments can hurt pretty bad.
Love that you're still doing videos though, this series is incredible.

The TimeSert likely pulled out earlier because it's designed to have the bolt head against it, for the correct depth. It likely would have snapped the head of the bolt off if used as intended to make a flush surface for the bolt head.

Just goobered up one of my spark plug holes recently. Got a tap called a back tap. This tap chases the threads in reverse, reducing the potential for getting junk in the cylinder head like a normal thread chaser would.

Extra cash but well worth it!

I've used an insert before that is like a time sert, but it has a knurled top edge and it comes with a special punch to flare out the top knurling to hold it into place once screwed in. Worked great on my kz650 oil drain plug.

You guys are blessed living on a 1st world country, I was sent from the US long time ago as a General Director of a NYC company out of the 500 fortune magazine. Long story short I got engaged with a native woman, then again and now I live here permanently. I do part time mechanic only in our cars. All the tools here are imported, kits like this or other high tech tools are imported as well. The trash they sell here is all made in China. Local shops are big scammers. Something sold in the US for 20 USD cost 60 here. The things is if they sent the wrong part you're screwed. I wish I had never left the USA.

If you don't have a thread chaser and you've done the thing that sometimes happens where you've somewhat mangled all the threads, but not totally removed them, taking a clean bolt of the correct size and driving it in 1 full turn at a time (i.e. 1 turn, back out, clean hole and bolt, 2 turns, back out, clean whole and bolt, and so on until you've done all the threads), it can save you in a pinch.

Finally! I know the right way to do this! Thanks for all the great knowledge Ari! Get better soon!

I've seen a pro mechanic install a Timesert to fix spark plug threads with the head intact, they put the cylinder in TDC making sure valves were closed then they used grease to catch most shavings and after used compressed air to get all shavings out. So probably possible just have to be extra careful
