Looking for a std catted DP or if anyone can helicoil (spelling?) and existing DP with a stripped O2 sensor thread.

ohhh unlucky

im sure someone will be able to hellacoil (sp?) ur DP

ozzy

I've got a TSL de-cat on at the moment, but thinking of putting the original one back on. My original has a duff thread, so I'll need that helicoiled or if someone is prepared to do a swap or sell me their original.

Yo Stef,

I have one from my MY98.

But you've got an RB5, I dont know if it fits

AlanG

It'll be fine for fitting

Alan

ozzy

Right, Scoty boy, best'est chum. What sort of price you looking for it?

AlanG,

Any ideas of the cost for inserting a helicoil into one?

Stefan

Scoty

Stef,

Any ideas roughly how much they are worth?

I'm thinkin £40 bucks, but no if there worth £100 or something

ozzy

OK, I'll keep that in mind.

My original works fine, so if it costs more than £40 to get a helicoil fitted I'll be in touch.

Cheers,

Stefan

Won't cost as much to get it heli-coiled. It's only an insert.

Are you sure it can't be re-tapped? Most times it's the thread on the sensor which fails rather than the boss it goes into

Alan

Alan,

Not sure. Need to get it down from the loft to have a good look, although what I'm looking at will be a mystery to me

I'm running a TSL de-cat with my new O2 sensor, so it's just to give me another option and not break the new sensor threads.

I'll ask my friendly garage to have a look for me tomorrow.

Stefan
