Heli-Coil on a bell housing?

[Bogger Man]

Has any one ever used heli-coil on a bell housing? A friend asked me and I said it would probably be ok as long as the bell housing wasn't cracked.






Hold my beer & watch this!

I have used them at the back of the tranny where the adaptor bolts on. Been a few years now and they are still good.

some stock alum. cast parts come from the factory with heli-coils in them because the threads are stronger than just taping the alum cast., it will be better than new probably
