BrianEb Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 I was doing routine coolant maintenance on my 03 shee. I drained the left side coolant after loosening the bolt & than the right side and unhooked the water pump hose and let that drain. But when it came time to tighten the coolant bolt back on the left side cylinder, the threads inside the cylinder just melted away like butter when I went to torque it down to 7ft pounds of torque. Te engine was also cold when I performed this operation. Can someone tell me how to do a Tap and then a Time-Sert Install. Also is this a common problem on all ATV or just the Banshee I was totally bummed out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locogato11283 Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 helicoil!! go to a machine shop and have them do it if you dont think you can do it yourself. i think this is the only way to do it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reas11 Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 u could get a solid fill at the machine shop as well, they will put a sleeve in the hole solid fill, and retap it with new threads. it's an alternative to a heli coil either way u will be set .
