When you were finished tapping that hole I could see holes(porosity?) in the tapped circumference of the newly treaded hole.I see why you have to install inserts, shat casting/ metals/process when block was made.
Love your videos. However shouldn't that locking pin be sitting on the interface between the insert and the rest of the head to stop the insert from turning? At the end it looked like the pin was only in the insert.
Thank you for your positive comment and your question! The placement is correct. The location of the pin intersects the external threads of the insert. The locating pin must be fully into the threads.
Thank you Den for watching! Give us a call if you would like to know more ~ we would be happy to send you more information or check out the website www.locknstitch.com
If I were to run a roughing tap that deep into a hole like that, surely the tap would snap off, with a silent scream, followed by a flood of my own tears that would glue the broken parts to the internal threads of the block.
Then after you've spent 3 hours destroying your chisels, knuckles, and sanity, you can always just weld the hole up and pretend it only ever had 3 bolts
The insert is threaded so no it won't come out. Its locked right into the threads themselves. The threads go into the thread insert so where the hole was drilled, its in direct contact with the threads. It could have been drilled right between the insert and base metal but I think they only drill through the thread insert to catch the threads to keep it from spinning so you're only drilling into the thread insert instead of the insert and the base material. The thread insert has threads that go in beyond the side surface of the insert itself so the pin is catching the tops of the threads on the insert and the base material. The threads don't stop at the side of the the thread insert, they stick out a little past it. Its not a smooth insert.
isnt that locking pin supposed to overlap the original metal and the insert? the whole pin was in the insert. dont think itll prevent it from backing out

I wish you guys would make tons more videos. I could watch these repairs all day.
Thanks for the feedback - we are LONG overdue for some new content.... stand by we promise to have some online in the future.
Saw these videos as a kid back in the 90s never would have thought I would be working in this field now life is funny.

The best repair
We agree! Casting repair is our passion! Thanks for watching and commenting Samuel.
you know your shit man thanks
Amazing, Thanks
Thank you!

It's pretty typical when casting these large slabs of die steel for there to be some pinhole porosity.

Ahhh right - intersecting the threads. I didn't think of that. Cheers.

Locking pin looks like does not touch base plate. Should it be half?

@@mikeznel6048 ah makes sense. Thanks for the explanation. I didn't think about the threads being in contact with the locking pin 👍
You guys should really upload a new videos! Its good, basically free advertising.
Working on it! Thanks for watching Jim. Stay Safe
I think you put the pin in the wrong location. Shouldn’t it overlap the screwed-in pin and the block simultaneously?

Alien talking holy crap 😕
LOL, Goa'uld alien from stargate SG-1.
Thanks for the chuckle.
Locking pin to far in ,your sacked
Your voice that mistake is no good thank you anyways
is a work of art
The art of metal stitching!
