ok, take a drill, drill out the old threads MAKE SURE BOTH THE HOLE AND TAP ARE THE APPROPRIATE SIZE! i like to use oil to keep the bit cool. now, take a wrench or tap wrench and slowly thread the tap in the hole. done. use plenty of oil to lube the tap too.

Wait a minute. You are going to drill into the case and get shavings in there?

suzuki_saddle · 06-26-2008, 09:36 PM

no, your only supposed to stick the drill in once because it pulls the shavings out if you just drill in and then pull out. get it?

tigmaster · 06-26-2008, 09:37 PM

No, you will not get them all out no matter what. Especially when you tap it.

suzuki_saddle · 06-26-2008, 09:45 PM

yea the drill part is right because ive seen it done, but the tapping part, i dont know... thats what im confused about, maybe a magnet will get them out thats what i use when drill on cars and stuff, it pulls the shavings rihgt out

tjscott2012 · 06-26-2008, 09:50 PM

why are you confused about the tapping part?

tigmaster · 06-26-2008, 10:00 PM

Magnet gonna pull those aluminum case shavings out? Drilling will put shavings into the case no matter what. I have done my fair share of drilling holes LOL and I know what happens.

tig is right, when it comes to drilling holes, not blowing the shavings out will really screw things up and you only get lucky 1% of the time. my dad helicoile'd my xr75 spark plug hole when we first got it and i didnt find out until the other day when i found shavings in my engine

suzuki_saddle · 06-26-2008, 11:37 PM

well i'll figure out a way to get them out, i have the topend pulled off rihgt now so maybe that will help a lil bit, i dunno lol, but how much damage can it do if there in there? and how would you get them out?
