ok a budy of mine has the same bike as me, but he has stripped the thread on the cylinder bolt, its not the thread that the cylinder head bolt goes on its where the stud goes into the cylinder. Hes tried cold welding but since its cast welding it can harm and warp the cylinder, not to mension that the head need to sit flush. And advice would be great cuz he's in a big situation.

your friend happens to have an '84 CR125 just like you? wow. without seeing it i would suggest a heli-coil. they are easy to put in and practically bullet proof.

Maybe helicoil? Have a machine shop look at it. Shouldn't cost all that much.

Just for further education, there is no such thing as cold welding.

Welding implies a working at a temperature greater than 1100 or 1200 ( I don't remember the exact number) degrees according to AWS standards. Not exactly cold, now is it?

76GMC1500, first of all no one would weld a cylinder. For people who were reading this forum most likely know what i mean by cold weld, ie J.B.Weld. When you hear people talking about cold weld there talking about a strong glue that hardens almost to the strength of metal.

A lot of people weld cylinders, there is usually some follow-up machine work and plating to be done afterwards.

But... for this repair, a Helicoil is the way to go. They're easy to install and stronger than the original.
