The first time I found this series, I thought " what a bunch of nit-wit hillbillies". I quickly realized this is some of the best common-sense, nuts & bolts logic on the internet. Tremendously educational as well as humorous and entertaining. I've seen every video and learned something from each of them. Thank you Guys!

Obviously some of you didn’t pay close attention to the vidya, the reason I didn’t drill the head was because I used a “piloted tap”. I explain in the video that the piloted part of the tap opens the hole up to the size of the insert. No need for drilling. That’s what a piloted tap is. As far as using loctite on the insert, if you wanna use loctite go ahead. The video is just to show you how to install the heli coil. Once it’s in there it’s not gonna come out. Now theres yur dinner on that!

Nobel Prize for being not only the best comedy-mechanic on the Interface but the only comedy-mechanic on the interscreen.

I have done dozens of heli-coils in my life. but I still want to watch....

Taryl you are the Peter Sellers "Pink Panther of small engine repair entertainment.....I enjoy and appreciate your big time practical expertise, and really enjoy your videos.... Taps and dyes have saved me countless times over.... I even use them in most of my woodworking hobby, which is my passion (besides repairing my John Deere 185)...Especially in jig systems.... So Taryl and Taryl's loyal viewers.......Here's a woodworking tip that not a lot of people know...... Don't use metal taps and dyes in wood...You gain far more extra strength by taking what ever size bolt you want to use in your wood project, and make it your actual tap.... Easy to do- Just use a grinder and a vice, or a bench grinder and a guide, and flatten the surface of two sides of the bolt- Even one side will do it.. Cut the head off, and install it in a drill..... Drill slowly, and back off periodically to rid the wood chips... You will be amazed how well this works.... Put a little boiled linseed oil in as you do it, and it will last a long time... If you use the Boeing aircraft T-9 Lube , it will last forever, as the coating dries on like a wax. And it works over and over again... That is the beauty of taps in wood.... Now there's your dinner!

Best Monday night dinner I've had in a long time!

I once stripped a bolt hole while putting a brake caliper on my car. First thing I did was call the dealer to see how much the a replacement part would be. He was one of the honest ones and right away told me about Heli-Coils. I thought that was really nice because to replace the part that I had stripped the threads in one bolt hole on would have been somewhere around $300. I have never done any sort of thread repairs in my life at that point but it was easy as long as I take my time and look at the instructions. Do note that a Heli-Coil will not appear to have the same threads as your bolt but it is flexible enough to work. I think they designed them that way intentionally so they don't come out of the bolt hole every time like that one insert kit which Taryl said he doesn't like. Heli-Coils resemble springs in a way.

I was working for an International Harvester dealer, fixing farm tractors. We got a call for fixing an earth mover at a construction site. I went out and found a stripped out bolt on a hydraulic valve. I installed a heli coil in the valve and got it fixed. Our shop charged 60 dollars an hour. The regular folks that fix those, is sixty miles away, and they charged 120 dollars an hour, including travel time. They made the right decision to call us.

"it's not the space shuttle" Best saying I've heard in a while and totally accurate. Thanks for your videos, they are fun! Best of wishes to all. :)

Hey taryl, Use Loctite 266 on the solid style inserts. 266 will take the heat. Use this on the Ford Triton engines. Great vid as always!

Excellent video Tayrl,I've used the heli-coil kits more then a few times and I found nothing works better.

one of my first jobs when i was 18 back in 76 was making these . helicoil was founded in bethel connecticutt, i use to do second shift after aprint shop job and run 4 of these machines that spit these out by the thousands , and they had to be done right theres your dinner

I use a shop vac to suck the chips out of the cylinder. Works pretty good. Great video..

Hi Taryl. Ive used heli-coils many times. Usually on aluminum engines. Snowmobiles, motorcycles, small engines. I like the individual kits. Nice video. Rev.

Work in a machine shop and have installed thousands of these in different things. Great video.

I strip a sparkplug hole and you upload a video right in time, awesome!

Best instructional channel for practical repair of lots of stuff. Brilliant and much appreciated.

Thank you Taryl for all your hard work , i have learn so much from you , i love your shop , i would work for free a few hours a day just to learn and watch you work Thank YOU

Another hi-quality podunk production!!! Thanks!!!🍺🍺

Yet another excellent educational video Taryl. Have you ever worked on any diesel engines ? I'm looking for a good engine to start a project but I don't have enough experience to know which manufacture (s) made good quality durable , reliable and parts avaliable . I need an engine that puts out 8~13 hp, or more up to 20 hp but I will start at the lower end ,but in the teens is my target sweet spot . If you have serviced such an engine in the past ,could you share which episode ? Thank you Taryl for you being you and all your friends who help you make the show what it is .May God bless you sir .

Excellent tutorial, cuz! Loved the blooper at the end.

We need to see the return of the cross thread cowboy in another video

I really like this video on heli-coil inserts. Now anyone will understand what is involved using the thread restoration tool. Nice explanation covering all aspects of this service on any items. Please make some more videos Taryl Dactal. Good day too !!!!!!!!!

Good tip about using grease and q tip. I might try using s shop vac too

I made a little adaptor tube for my shop vac that goes through the plug hole and is flexible enough to bend round the cylinder bore. it usually get all the chips out without issue.

Great demonstration. 👍 You are the best!

I always wanted to know how to use these. Thanks Taryl and crew. Dinner is served.

Hello Taryl I happen to watch another of your videos of how to repair a snow thrower carburetor which helped me big time instead of going to a shop to get it repaired - now watching this video of how to use a heli coil - both of your videos are very helpful and now a subscriber of your channel - now looking forward to see more of them .

Not just for striped out threads, heli-coils are used in some OEM threaded equipment, aviation comes to mind.

Hi, I worked for heli coil at the Danbury CT factory, worked in wire forming in 1963

Helicoils are awesome thanks for posting !

Another Great Video! Thanks For Sharing Your Knowledge! I Always Learn A lot From Your Videos. Thank You!

Thanks Taryl!

your videos are very helpful, thank you for making them

Great educational video!!! Thanks for dinner.

Well explained and so helpful for many occasions! Thanks so much 👍💪

I rarely trust anyone who says "trust me" - except Taryl.: "In Taryl we trust!" - and I do too.

cross thread cowboy! i love it my new line at work...thank you taryl for my dinner...lol WOOOOOOO!

"It ain't the space shuttle. It's a lawnmower." Hahahaha!

slippers makes that cross thread cowboy outfit look good . 75th thumbs up .yee haw.

Great tip taryl

Excellent video

I've used heli-coils on many things but Holley carb bowl screws would often strip out and heli-coils were great for that.

taryl try some lock tight. I've done it for years on big diesel truck motors. never a problem. my heil coil kit came with a plastic tee insert tool that puts them in as well as brakes the tab but then I bought the kit in the late 90s

I learned something new thanks.

Taryl will you be able to make a video of how to read bolt sizes and how do we if both valves are closed? Honestly I find your videos to be very informative and I thank you for posting them.

good Tip with the heavy grease! thanks Taryl

Great vid daryl

I love these skits.

Great video Taryl

this was worth the wait

I use thread lock on the insert.... Good video

Great tip about grease on the tap!!! Way to go, TARYL!!!!

Another great video Taryl keep em coming ...

who dislikes taryl's videos ther the best

Woo hoo! A new video to watch while having a few beers after work!

Rule of thumb on thread depth is twice the diameter of the fastener on aluminum and the diameter of the fastener on steel. I always do a little more.

probably best for two strokes to have the piston higher than the transfer ports just incase . good video as always

Love you guys

Great video, I'd love to see you drill out broken head bolts too!

Great video gentlemen......coming soon to my tool collection...tap sockets

Iffen ya close your eyes real taight, Cross Thread Cowboy kindda sounds like Mr. Haney on Green Acres. Another great video Taryl!

Thanks Taryl. Always something new.

We used to always put "case savers" in Volkswagen engine case halves. Keeps the head studs from pulling out.

Another good job

You guys are so weird. And I love it.

Heli-coils no matter if official or clones are invaluable. The time sert is the second set taryl showed here. With time serts you have to follow the directions exactly as stated and use RED locktite. I used a time sert on my old tecumseh hm-100 snowblower engine. I got them on sale cheap. The helicoil is a screw in type and that’s why they are better. I have both types. Always trust taryl and his crew because they have experience and years of servicing engines so they are well seasoned. His vids have ALWAYS steered me in the right direction and what Tarly says is dead on.😀

It's a good fix and saves getting a new head .

great video on how to install helicoils,the grease you use,catches chips(good idea and it works) but it acts like a lube when tapping threads,never have installed heiicoils on any engines,BUT I always use alittle 271 Loctite on outside of insert when installing,i have no idea what would happen to Loctite when heat from an engine,what would happen from cold to hot over and over again,could you use Loctite on an engine?,or just a waste of time,im a manual machinist operate a HBM,easier on a machine then doing by hand, Agree all kinds of different types and styles of helicoils,LIKE YOUR VIDS

Brilliant video thank u

This was really informative. I think it’ll help a lot of people when they’re hitting the panic button due to a cross threading problem. Thanks

just finished up my Ford econoline with the 5.4 motor . Did it with the head on.

Thanks for going over that Blademan. Very helpful buddy. And as always another great video from the Grass Rats 🐀. AND THERES YOUR DINNER! BTW I feel like I had some desert with that 1. Thanks guys

Taryl, how about the blind hole on a 10HP Tecumseh where the electric starter mounts? Any ideas tapping those without going through the casting? Thanks! This video was very informative, so thanks for the skits, backed up by great content!

I would love to visit this town where all these different characters live lol. Great video as always Sir 🙂

Good afternoon guys

this is a great helpful video.

I love how Grammerly commercials come on when Teryl shows up ROFL

I just love you guys. You always brighten my day and make me laugh. As always awesome video.

The kit cost more than the lawnmower. 😂😂😂 I get it's a how to video. Thanks Taryl!

Great video - love the outtake at the end.

Once again - learned something new! Maybe Cross Thread can get with Slippers. They'd make a good team :-) And there's your dinner.

Love Taryl video but I would like to see slippers do another how to video. ,👍👍

Hello Taryl. You know I've done a few on chainsaws and one thing I've done is pull the muffkin and carbotrator off and blow out the chips, but you're right, it ain't the space shuttle, lol, I love that phrase.

Thoughts on Loctite Form-A-Thread Stripped Thread Repair? I actually just used it on my aluminium block for one of the blower housing bolts that go into the block. Worked really well.

Love the vids Taryle funny as Hell !

So great that a Professional would share his tried and true secrets and how too's ! Cameraman and company your'e doing a excellent job also. It's so dang entertaining even the wife watches Ha HA!!!!

Excellent video bud

I laugh at every video, thanks for posting them! I'm wondering about putting in an insert. It seems like there is debate about weather to use grease or not, and using RTV or red lock-tight. I read for motorcycle engines to not use grease as it may cause a chip to stick in the valves or somewhere in there if grease goes into the motor. I went with the insert because it seemed like it would be a little better for the motor I'm working on. Respond when you can and thanks for all the great information and entertainment!

i love you Taryl!

Me likes chips for diner, thanks Taryl

Love your videos!!!!

Entertaining and educational!

Awesome... I know how to do these and still learn a ton.

Yes, I would like a heart ❤️ too please! So happy to see this vid!!

Got a Stihl 390 that needs this, thanks for the dinner Taryl

It's not Sunday.. but I'll take it!

Another great video👍

A nice t-handle Tap wrench helps can be ratchet type you get the drive on the tap evenly keeping it straight
