well today my driver side block mount ripped off after i was driving around. the bolt holes that the block mount bolts to were already helicoiled befroe i got the motor i guess. so we are gonna drill it out and tap it, and put std bolts with more course thread on there for little more strength. what do u all think bout that?? what would u guys do. thnx for readin

 

dont do that.. go to a machine shop and rent a m10x1.25mm timecert kit usally $20-30 to rent for a day and fix it that way

 

Timecert x 2.

Much better design than helicoil.

 

ok because of the snow we didnt get to do today, so where can i get a timecert at, any machine shop??? how do they work do they thread into the hole first,and then ur bolt threads u need are in the inside??? ok well let me know, ill greatly appreciate it.

 

got done car lastnight. retapped block for bigger bolt then loctite on them. then we made a solid top motor mount. and we made a solid driver torque mount for it also for extra strength. and also threw some prothane motor mount bushing in passenger side tranny mount. hopefully shes fixed now. thnx for all the help

 

I've seen one that had been retapped for larger bolts crack off around the lower bolt, and then strip the upper bolt, so your repair may not last very long. It had gone maybe 800-1000 miles

I repaired that one with JB weld, held up for a year before my friend sold the car (new owner siezed the engine, but the mount is still solid).

 

well heres the thing ,when the helicoils ripped out,the holes were a little smaller then the bolts i was puttin in, so i didnt oversize it incredibly to bigg. just a little for the new bolts to fit,then tapped it, and threw bolts in with sum loctite on then, with the solid mounts and all its pretty stiff. well i will keep u updated if anything happens,thnx for all the help
