As the title suggest I need a place that will redo a few studs on my cylinder.

would HeliCoils be an option?

There is also "inserts" that hold much better than HeliCoils but take up more space.GCE61 wrote:would HeliCoils be an option?

Helicoils seem to be working so far. It was idling really high so I was using the kill switch to stall it then let it rev up until it warmed up. It still idles a little high when it's warmed up but I was able to ride it around the yard a little bit. Adjusting the idle speed screw didn't appear to do anything but i'm also using the old head gasket as the new one isn't here yet and I didn't want to put the new one on if the helicoils weren't going to hold. A few drops of water were coming out of the gasket so I know it's not sealing properly. Also waiting on the exhuast gasket since it only has the orings and isn't sealing proper.

try using the ultra-black silicon at the exhaust it helps a lot !
