Got an aluminum valve cover to replace the plastic stock cover. Went to install and found out that 3 of the holes are not tapped at all. The holes on the drivers side and the rear hole are just that, holes, no threads at all.
Was thinking of using heli-coil to take care of this. Anyone ever tried using these in the engine? I figured it would save a little on the install and from everything I hear they hold well. The kit comes with the bit to drill out the holes to the appropriate size and the "coils" to insert in the holes, then any correct sized bolt can be used.
Any thoughts?
