I used a heli-coil in the block of a 302 for the timing chain cover bolt. It held for another 10 years that I know of, before it was sold off.

Daggonit ,AK!- the last time you warned us about the weather we all got a good piece of it!
I already lost one gutter, i dont want another!-
2100- there are many different inserts- personally, i dont have any luck with heli-coils-
Just my 2 cts.
Brew, White,- you were talking about old computers- my Dad bought one of the first Texas Instruments computers- you literally had to program it with binary to get it to do something simple like make a bell noise!- it took hours!-i just never followed that stuff- guess ive been a wrench turning dinosaur all my life!
The knee is doing ok- swelling is going down, slowly. Lots of p/t and exercising. Should be back to work in a couple weeks!
You fellers be safe!- keep your whistle wet and your powder dry!- peace to all , good night!

Yes, it can be done, a little MIG could do it with a spool gun.

When I was a wee lad.... in 7th grade....so about 1987, my Buddy had a Commodore 64. He would write these programs to have it count to a million. I always thought "what an absolute waste of time". I'd stay over at his house and we'd wake up to see what it had counted to over night.... I always though "wow, big whoop". LOL.

I thought aluminum. If the guy is good, there's no issues. My Buddy has a guy that welds busted trans cases and bell housings for him - he is good. I've seen a few busted ears on bell housings that came right back apart because somebody didn't get it hot enough. I think it needs to be around 350 degrees, preheated if I remember what this welder guy told me.
