Review on πŸ”§ HeliCoil Helicoil 5546-6: High-Quality Metric Coarse Thread Repair System by Ryan Gilliam

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Saved our Chevy Cruze

In my desperate Googling I came across a buy recommendation for a "Helicoil Kit" after testing our 2012 Chevy Cruze Eco 1.4L at a valve change almost ruined . Thread fracture in the engine block. This resulted in an oil leak while driving. Not good. After finding the screw sizes, this kit ended up in my shopping cart WITH the wrench as I didn't have one. Installation was easy and very reliable once installed. as well as a drill that can drill through metal so you can clean the bolt hole before cutting it. It is recommended to get some cutting fluid to keep metal shavings away while working. After all this work there is no more leakage and it is as if nothing happened to the car. Thanks, random forum poster, for recommending this solution.
