[QUOTE="MikeS, post: 674228, member: 18813"] Rich I tried to call Eric but his number kept going to the Phantom voice mail box. Endo Sleeving is not possible in this senario. JM I had the studs in and out about 8 times I figure. So I assume that is possible also. Well .... The head is smoke at this point because 2 of the 4 helicoils let go. I salvaged one by using an extra long coil. Problem is the aluminum is crumbleing. Even tapping it with oil made for the aluminum will not allow a clean cut for the helicoils. It was too late last night and I overlooked that. I put some loctite crap that has hardened on the one and it took the torque. Even after a hot cold cycle of breaking the topend in it has held. It needs to hold for an hour or so for tomorrows race. I have 3 weeks before the next race so I will try one more patch on the bad coil. I am patching only to make 2 more hours of racing. I ordered a new cylinder but I want Eric to try a stroker and long rod kit and I do not want to cut the new cylinder base way down to match the current configuration. Something new to add to the racing diary... [/QUOTE]
