I was looking for something else in the on line catalog of Parts Unlimited (http://www.parts-unlimited.com/home/home.do;jsessionid=45252E76C6B79EFE23BD4B39FCF04ED5) when I stumbled upon the Permatex Stripped Thread Repair (http://www.permatex.com/products/automotive/thread_compounds/thread_repair/Permatex_Stripped_Thread_Repair.htm). Looked a lot easier than hauling my XR350 to a bike-friendly machinist I finally found to have a clutch cover thread in the crankcase repaired. Best $15 I ever spent. Here's all I had to do http://www.permatex.com/videos/video_strippedthreadrepair_eng.html Much easier!
It's holding just fine. Torqued just like normal. The cover stopped weeping oil from that area. This is so 21st Century, I love it! Highly recommended.
A leaky kickstart shaft seal necessitated removal of the clutch cover. The bike has been run for a while and I was a little concerned it might have exceeded the thread repair's temperature threshold. No worries, they are still perfect.
ReplyDeleteOne tube of this stuff co$ts less than having a single heli-coil installed. I have fixed three holes so far and still have lots of the kit left. Highly recommended.
