File comment: got most of it out note how the hole is off center now we need to see what size of hole we have .

this is how we plug holes in steel that we need to move or do not need any more

File comment: OK its a #9 or a 3/16 witch would be a little tight . I always use a smaller drill bit to pick up the prick punched hole because the bit will bend a little in this case i would use a 1/8" dia or smaller . now just drill in a 1/4" to 3/8 deep. then go to the bigger size drill bit

You Can get a set from harbor freight for $10.00 - I'm sure they are not the best if you only use them afew times the price is right.

These are real nice if you make your own gasket - put the gasket on a block of wood and hit with a hammer and you got a hole.

That is an interesting way of fixing stripped holes that I hadn't considered before, thanks for sharing. I see the main advantage is if the damaged hole gets off center, you can get it back on center this way.

Have you ever used steel thread locking inserts? http://www.mcmaster.com/#threaded-inserts/=baccxj The ones with the keys work great. The only issue is finding one that has the right thread sizes for the application, and your hole must be on center to start with.

When I was just a young puppy I was a precision assembler of circuit board drilling equipment and we used these inserts on aluminum guide rails. Once they're in they're permanent and harder than a whore's heart! LOL! Work Great!

We used to call them Keenserts. It was probably the manufacturer's name.

Hat's off to ya Speed, that's an excellent fix for an area that you can't use an insert in!

Thanks for posting this....

Great fix! Would a helicoil essentially do the same job?

Normally if the hole was just stripped out you could possibly tap the hole to the next size larger screw or use a heli coil or an insert but in this case with the hole now off center due to damage. this is a great way to get the threaded hole back to it's original position.

Yes Keenserts is a brand. I have found they are easy to remove. Just drill them out to a specified size and the keys can be pulled out and the remaining insert unscrewed. But they are steel so they are harder to strip out than aluminum. We used them on a prototype vehicle at work because we didn't want to worry about stripping aluminum threads out.

In my limited experience helicoils suck. I would use speedchaser's method or the thread inserts before helicoils.

Exactly. Props to speedchaser for this tutorial.

I have had to use heli coils for an emergency temporary fix for a VW head where the spark plug was stripped out. The heli coil lasted about an hour before the spark plug blew right out of the head with the heli coil still attached!

Needless I'm not a heli coil fan either!

My kid flooded the VW once so had him pull the plugs when he did 2 out of the 4 the threads in the heads were bad, pulled the heads and bought a spark plug insert kit from NAPA and repaired all 4 holes.

If you're going to do it, inserts are the way to go!
