Cage pulled threads out..

Re: FI cage pulled threads out..
The 929's suck for that reason. The holes dont go all the way through...If they did like the gixxer you could use a bolt with a nut on the other end......thats the easiest fix in that department.

i wouldnt drill the hole bigger and re-tap cuz if it happens again. id try to get that stuff on t.v.. i dont know what they are called but they look like welding sticks, but its alluminum and you heat them up with a torch, fill the hole with it and then do your hole.

ive helicoiled mine and its seems to work okay, i hear tappin it out to the next size works too!
i think a 12mm, but im tired and its been awhile so maybe its a 10 or a 8.
hahahahahahha
but yes, the helicoil held up tel my motor blew, then i got new threads!!!

We will call that the Crazy Dan option. Just blow your motor up and the new block will have news threads. Problem solved

Definately use a heli-coil. It is actually stronger than the original threaded hole. The bolt is a 10x1.25mm. I have seen the head gasket leak after they've been welded because the heat warps the block and head surfaces...just my

its a bitch though cause most helicoil tools arent long enough to go through the frame and into the motor. it will work though the best, if not drill out and upgrade to 12mm

if you know how to use a drill just drill all the way through and put a nut on a bolt, use either a nylon lock nut or put a lock washer in there. BAM ITS FIXED!!!!

Well Dan what heilcoil tool where you using that when through the frame mount the spacer and into the engine?
Or did you lower your engine?

what bolts do you need to pull out to drop the motor?
