Cylinder head thread inserts

I had a number of stripped cylinder head threads repaired with both helicoils and brass inserts. The helicoils were the cheaper of the fixes but a couple eventually came loose due to yearly head servicing taking its toll.

The brass inserts nevergaveany problems but each cost 3 times the price of a helicoil.

I was able to find local engineering companies to do this kind of job. For other more serious cylinder head problems I used to go to BLR Engineering Hersham, Surreywho have many years of experience in dealing with Nortons.

Hi Ralph

Just a Note to support Phil's comment above. I can also vouch for Ian Mole's work at BLR. Incidentally he has recently taken over Len Paterson's 'Cylinder Head Shop' and is now based in Wallington, Surrey. Contact Ian athttp://www.blrengineering.co.uk

Here's a relevant pic attached of Ian's work on a Commando Head?
