how to repair stripped spark plug threads using timesert helicoil kit

In this video, I demonstrate the proper methods of using a thread kit to repair stripped spark plug threads. Cross threading spark plus is a common error but it's very easy to repair the threads yourself and save thousands ! It's basically the same process for motorcycles , cars, power equipment, chainsaws or anything that takes spark plugs. Easy Peasy !

Nickletown makes the best motorcycle stuff!

Man Nickel Town Customs is bad ass! They make a kit for everything.

[wyowho]

these videos are the only reason I even watch tube

[fluchterschoen]

What a very instructional video: this is surely one of your most surreal offerings (and that is saying something)!

[davidspin]

The vise grips show your expertise, I've been use and old pipe wrench I found in my neighbors garage.

[stevesalarano]

Definitely MUCH easier than simply buying a new spark plug. Badass!

[claudiodiaz]

That's why I converted my engine to use bayonet mounted spark plugs.

[Oldbmwrrs]

I..wow, I can't even.
Hats off to you for such an informative video, and to nickle town customs for their repair kits.

Thankyou so much for your channel it really helps me keep going in otherwise dull times. It’s my go to channel makes me laugh out loud every time

[richie]

Badass! I might buy one of those kits to fix the thread on my cold water

[bloodyhell]

The unique quality of Ichiban Moto in one simple video. Some great advice - mixed in with a shed-load of absolute nonsense ! You've got this taped. With Youtube-grade niche-tape. Vlog-on bro !

[Mukeshmiktecrep]

I laughed so hard after a month.... mechanically man

[j.c.m]

You should see if crescent tools would sponsor a single tool "ichiban moto" tool kit.

I have a 75 Volkswagen I see someone had installed a helicoil in the #3 plug hole that's gone bad and wondering if I could just remove it and replace it without drilling and tapping it again? Thanks for any advice!

[dartstudio]

This tidbit of information will come in handy in case I have trouble down the road. Adding these repair parts to my already badass tool role I made after yours. Also, I need solid chrome plugs for my next build, maybe use diamond paper to get rid of those heavy weight and ugly horsepower stealing hex patterns on my plugs? Keep putting the ad in badass!!!

Cross threads better than no thread! :)

[angrymancunian]

Wish we had methyltethlygaskerotone in the UK....

[motorcycleguy]

Nice job. another method which I have used that works is coating the threads on the spark plug with liquid steel, screwing it into the head waiting 3 minutes then un screwing it and it leaves threads in the head

[martingrahdu]

is there a cheaper way than the carbide die. I went to Canadian Tire and they couldnt find any thread grade assembly glue can I braze the sparkplug to build it up and thread it on my lathe maybey?
