clutch slave bolts in bellhousing - SLUTTED THREAD


escortwags

Recommended Posts

hay yo, engines running mean and idles chur as

have a slight new issue te slave is folding under pressure (moves and bends down)

and has revealed some super fuked threads in the bellhousing for it!!!! argghh

so thoughts are

- definitly dont want to take the gearbox off

- after a fix even if it means the bolts will never come off again!!!!!!!!!!!!

got some of those threads that you wind in but found its impossible to drill out the bellhousing and tap it (no room at all)

has anyone had the same prob and fixed it mint as?? some sort of hardner shit to make the bolt set in?

or some super thread crap that forces the bolt to tighten, i dont know im tired and this engine is just being a pain in the arse :cry:

imperial size might be the go, but on closer inspection the holes are flogged to shit

were M8 but have no thread left in them argghhh

yes weld would be nice but no room to get anything in there let alone having to redrill holes etc. etc.

nothing in the immediate area to make any kind of bracket and wouldnt really help the problem

as the bolts can only get done up finger tight after that they free spin like a slut

arghh screw the children

helicoil = redrilling bellhousing (MISSION) probably end up with metal flying around cltuch let alone trying to

drill the pricks with some kind of magic drill

- please supply example of JB WELD saving the day and its orsomness

Yeah thats why i was thinking NEED-IT but it might be a tad to rangi?

dont want it to fuck out after 5mins

forgot to ad onto diagram ontop of bellhousing and exhaust

- firewall

- clutch and brake shit

- intake manifold almost touching the firewall

- all sorts of shit making life difficult

doubt i would be able to get a decent right angle to tap a decent thread, will probly end up having to redo

alloy = pussy arse shit that should never have thread

yes there is, but one hole isnt all the way threw

and we dont want to take the g-box off again, it wsa a mish to put on and im over it

Cheers for the advice though, think we are going with the JB WELD plan but running studs into the bellhousing so the slave tightens with nuts to get max pressure on the bastard :D

fingers crossed it all works out awesome
