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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Saved our Chevy Cruze

In my desperation while googling I came across a recommendation to buy a "Helicoil kit" after nearly wrecking our 2012 Chevy Cruze Eco 1.4L when we replace a valve cover. 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 screw hole before tapping. It is recommended to get some coolant 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.

Pros
  • Great overall specs
Cons
  • Useless features
