    Don’t was more easy to install a helicoil in the strip threads ? Than retap to a big bolt size

    I'm not a big fan of helicoils...I'm more of a ...Keensert...person. I couldn't find any in the size I needed. they are threaded metal sleeves.
    helicoils to me are just coiled wire.

    Cleaned this up in preparation for sale. Local auction charges $100 to run it through, going to give that a shot so I don't have to deal with people!!! Bought it new in 2006, made considerable changes and put a bunch of miles on it (by my standards) and now it's time to be someone else's. Looking forward to turning it into more Maverick parts!

    Today I dug through the cabinet and found a NIB oil pump, NIB double roller timing set and enough gaskets & seals to do 2 engines. (y)
    Now I need to find time to stop by my buddies and pick up a 4 barrel intake and oil pan.

    He was quoting a different post. You might searchin the technical forums for S10 or remote hood release, could be a write up there.
