    Hey Clay I own a diesel repair shop as well and our tech's always complain when they have to work on junk. But I always remind them that someone else's junk pays the bills, and if it was easy everyone would be doing it. Great videos!

    Well Clay, this was a great video, and true Heli-coil repair does a fine job for the repair. But that don't mean I gotta like it. LOL!!! I hate putting Heli-coils in a stripped out bolt hole. Love the video! And tell Wally to quit setting down on the job!!!! LOL!!!!

    Using a tap guide will help guide the tap until it gets started. A tap guide can be made from a steel block with a clearance hole for the tap drilled square thru the block on a drill press. I made several guides to tap hicoils for holley carbs on dodge trucks.

      People not using a torque wrench. It’s too easy to look specs up so really no excuse other than being lazy.

  • @snowman1194
    @snowman1194 5 лет назад +1

    only reason to strip a 6.0 valve cover is abuse and cross threading. i have worked on that motor while i was at ford more then i like to remember. seen alot of them threads wreaked as well as the torx bolts messed up on the oil rails. good job making it right again

    • @KoonTrucking
      @KoonTrucking  5 лет назад

      People are too lazy to torque stuff I don’t understand either. It’s way too easy to look up specs and do it right the first time. It only takes a few mins to do it right
