Anyone have a Helicoil they would be willing to sell?

On my Thermal Wave2, I can't get the thing to stop leaking antifreeze, so I'm considering pulling it off and putting another one on. If you have one sitting around the shop that you don't need, let me know.

Thanks

I have no clue why it's called a helicoil. I'm a little grumpy right now. My blower belts on my Everest just went bad today and they're SUPPOSED to be only 700hrs old. I paid to have them replaced at the 1k hr service and I think the mechanic just ripped me off and told me he replaced them. After replacing them in a parking lot today, I saw how wore out they are. They look like they're 1800 hrs old


Since you got the first link blocked out, maybe this eBay link will work

This makes sense now. I was wondering why you wanted a helicoil and you didn't know if your threads were stripped out.

Could the kit be adapted to the thermal wave 2 hp that I’ll be putting it on?

That model has that box shaped antifreeze heat exchanger.

What other units use a helicoil? If I come across a parts unit I will message you. @Matt Wood @Justin Legend Brands
All liquid cooled machines have some sort of liquid to liquid heat exchanger. As far as a helicoil, Everest 408/650, Apex GTX, Peak GTX, Peak GTX2, Performer, Performer 405, Everest EFI, Everest, Peak, Apex, Thermal Wave II, and Bluewave. Keep in mind that the housings changed through out the years so they may not be a direct fit between them, however they all used a helicoil.
