So one of the holes in my b18a1 for the arp studs is stripped. I cant even get it out if i try to loosen it it just keeps turning n wont come out. Im going to heli-coil it but what size do i need? Its a b18a1 block. N how do i get the stud out if i cant loosen it out?

 

This is above your pay-grade. This is where a special Helicoil kit needs to be purchased so that it goes deep into the stud hole. This is where a professional comes in. Do not pass go, and expect to pay over $200.

But when its done, it'll be stronger than stock.. I had one of these happen to me recently, as I had torqued too many times over the years. You may also consider time serts, but a deep helicoil will work.

 

Money isn't a problem. And my friend is doing it for me n he has done it a lot. But what size is it? I've read up.its like m10 something

 

If he doesn't know from checking, then he shouldn't be doing anything to this block at all. you can measure from head stud itself.. This alone means that you shouldn't be touching this, this time.

If you have any more "friends", "buddies", "homies", "dudes", "peeps", "dunnies", "cousins", "brothas'.. or any other people that are not a professional in doing this, you'll have a useless block.. period.

 

you need a machine shop. seriously.

 

This sir, is a figure of speech, not a slam against your bank roll.

What he means is "Get a professional before you mess it up further"

 

Clarification for the OP. This was an attempt at utilizing Federal employee terminology in conjunction with it being above your level of knowledge and expertise of a particular subject matter. In this case, helicoil.

Definition of "Paygrade".

Some of the factors that are relevant to a job evaluation include:
■Experience
■Education
■Complexity of Duties

■Direction of Others (supervisory responsibility)
■Working Conditions/Physical Effort

 

Easy Mac, I believe he was explaining the phrase to the OP.

 

Sorry.. Long day.. I've corrected my e-attitude..

 

Im getting it professionally done. Getting timesert instead now. "I" myself have done 4 helicoils on my last motor. I just forgot the size. I own my own business and dont have the time to do it anymore. I make more than a doctor so like i said price doesnt matter, Ive done everything on my own on my last cars. Welding roll cages, fabrication, welded my own turbo manifold that was on my 650whp eg. I know what i can do and what i cant do, and i know my friend knows what he is doing if i didnt i would of done it myself, but thanks for you help.

 

 

..but u have time to drive out to sell garage-sale parts...as long as there's gas money?

 

Sell that slow *** honda and get a real car if you make so much money .

 

I made more hp than that 5yrs ago and i dont make ****.

 

Lmao owned!!

 

blasted.
