Hi all,
In the process of rebuilding my 1fz. Finally got the head back today and had a bit of a setback when installing the exhaust manifolds. All the threads in one of the holes completely pulled out. At about 20ft/lb on the torque wrench.
Any suggestions on repair method that I could get a hold of fairly quickly? Seems like helicoil maybe not so great for this, and key lock threaded inserts the best? Problem is I cant get the key lock quickly, but amazon does have some standard ezlok threaded inserts in an m10x1.25. Thoughts on if this may work out? Not sure if the provided tap would be sufficient..maybe have to get an additional bottoming tap?
I’m a bit bummed as I was hoping to get this back running over the weekend.
Any help/feedback appreciated.
