Are they all going to be under 10 mins now? If so, will you be doing them more frequently? I feel like a lot of the world is in media pare down mode. At least I know I am. I would rather not be subscribed if you are only planning or have time to do 7:48 episodes once every 2 months. Just wondering where the channel is going.

More episodes please Edd. Finally got the mini out into the world of Rallying hopefully all goes well.
I had this done to some Z1000 crankcases by SEP in Kegworth back in '85 after a couple of bolts sheared off diring an engine strip. They required drilling out and I was going to attempt it myself but I'm glad I left it to the experts!👍
A great episode! As many viewer mechanics, and willing amateurs know, repairs like this don't always go 'right first time' and it's refreshing to show what really needs to happen to get something working again. Honest engineering approach as usual.

Very good. There has been a kit like this around for a while now for use on Vito diesel injector bolts, the thread strips from the heads. I used one recently on a friend's Freelander TD4 in Romania, although the kit was designed for the Vito, it worked perfectly in the TD4 head. Nice to see you posting again Ed
Precision engineering is where art, science and imagination meet. Fantastique.
Time-serts have been very reliable in aluminum for me. Very pricey, but quality product. Clamping force using a backing flanged nut and washer is how Subaru handles aluminum arms. No threading exists inside the aluminum.

Hey Edd, I am glad to have found your channel. I have always lliked your manner of car workmanship.
Great stuff edd, I've used helly coils loads of times in the past, a fantastic fix. Well done edd, I love all your workshop videos, all the best.
Blimey Edd! Helicoil fixings takes me back to when I was a Jaguar apprentice - 1978 to 1982. Helicoils were used in the Jaguar engine manufacturing plant at Radford in Coventry for fixing cylinder blocks & cylinder heads on the V12 engine before they were even assembled into complete engines! They always made a good repair and saved scrapping of the part. Trilobal bolts are used on many cast aluminium parts on modern day carsto save machining of the threads but as you stated, they do have their serviceability concerns. Great video & thanks for prodding my memory!

Used their kit on a 2003 Toyota engine to repair head bolts, although expensive was easy to use and eliminated this issue with the cylinder head opening up randomly.

I used a Time-Sert for repairing the threads in my VW Single Cab's reduction gear box(cast material)/trailing torsion arm connection. Worked great!
I didn't know anything about you since "jewels on wheels" stopped airing. Nice to see you again Ed.
Sorry mate, The look on your face when those threads came loose was priceless. Been there, done that. The pain was in my eyes also. Cherry fix, glad to know a better way then the wire inserts. Love the show and your whole series.

I used to use a similar product years ago called Acme Keylocking Threaded Inserts. The difference was it had four wedge shaped sliding tangs that you would drive into place after seating the insert thereby locking it in place. Used them on motorcycle sparkplug holes that seemed to strip out and helicoil never seemed to work very well.
A wealth of info for me. Learned what those bolts with the lop-sided shape were for. First encountered when replacing a 6.5 HP aluminum engine onto the body of a steel bodied push mower. Narragansett Bay.
Thanks for this upload. I need to do something similar 🤨
Thanks Edd! I learned something new today. That type of bolt were holding the front swaybar in place on one of my cars and of course it stripped the threads out when I removed it to replace some bushings a few years ago. Allways wondered why it was shaped like that on the end and why i couldn't fit a regular nut on it. Now I know why! I solved my problem by using a longer bolt and put a nut on the other side of the beam that the swaybar bushings mounted to.
Love this channel.
What a wonderful moment (of force)
Steve's the man, he's got a Bridgeport! Not like the Pinnacle copy we have at work.
Cheers Edd. Stay Safe.
Clamping the part in the mill and using precision tools for the drilling and tapping seems a bit overkill but hurts nothing. Job well done!
Amazing. Enjoy your tea😀
I blew out a spark plug in the aluminum head of my 1968 Renault 10. I drilled it out, retapped it and inserted a helix coil. I used lots of grease to keep the aluminum shavings out of the cylinder and put grease on the end of a screwdriver to check if any shavings dropped down on top of the piston. I drove it 50,000 miles after that.
Perfect example of ‘tight is tight, too tight is f@cked’ 😂
Where you been, miss your episodes
Great to see you again see you soon 🥰
I ripped the toe binding out of my ski at Killington in Vermont. The onsite ski repair guy put a similar heli-coil into the ski and bolted the binding back in place, in about 30 minutes. Never failed.
Thank-you.👍
Great video, Did you replace original self tapping bolt with a standard gr 8 fastner?
very good video
Glad to see a new video. no forget us. Le alegro de ver un nuevo video. no, nos olvides
Having been there and done that I must say Time-serts can be a life saver. Used more Helecoils more times then time-serts but both work well in their proper place
Hi ed great to see your last video cannot wait unit the next one.
Edd, I am glad that you have not forgotten about us and share your new interesting videos with us.
Keep going edd
You are a nice person👏hello from Rome, Italy
Really interesting stuff! Had a similar issue with my bicycle crank arms. They are made of aluminium alloy and the pedals have steel bolts. Due to a design error on the pedals (lack of a stop) , I over tightened the pedals (cheap oem pedals) and after 30km of my saturday ride, the pedal stripped off the crank arm hole completely. Had to get a new full crankset, a puller and some tools to do it myself... but I would have liked to have a easier solution to that problem.

Ed, that first fix you showed is called a Heli-coil here in America. We use them all the time. Especially on stripped spark plug holes. BTW I loved that Bridgeport milling machine. America at its best.
Hi Edd, another very interesting video, on just how to rectify problems that mechanics have to sort out. Have you, or would you ever consider working on an old Rolls Royce, something like maybe a 1988 / 1989 Silver Spirit. I believe such cars are perhaps a little over engineered, and therefore, can throw up some real challenges to sort out. 👍.

I've seen bolts like that, I didn't realise they were a kind of self tapper.

If I can't drill, tap and use an oversized bolt, I definitely recommend Time-serts over things like helicoils.

You're right about the Helicoil's flex, but that occurs at a far higher point than the original aluminum provided the sizing is all correct. Having said that, Time-Serts are definitely the best thread repair there is for a host of reasons.

Does the final torque for the bolt change by suing an insert?
I’ve seen some scatchy things done on the trail to a suv had aluminum A-arms. That looked way better, brilliant work a spot of thread locker may be in order to seal out water. Just asking. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Edd, we miss you much in the spanish TV. Pleased to see you again here😉.
There was me thinking Neil had been happily rallying for the past however many months!
I've never understood the fascination with threaded inserts. I have stripped, broken, drilled, overbored, and re-tapped-for-oversized bolts numerous times with no problems.
Great re-engineering guys , much better than original item .
People,this is a short from a old video he already has uploaded over a year ago,edd you need to give us an explanation.
I would suggest using a longer bolt and just using a washernut.
