Svsam Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Evening all. I came very very close to making quite a costly armature mistake on my dot head build. Thanks to @Captain Chaosfor pointing out that cam caps are not interchangeable, the engine didn’t even turn with the wrong ones one. I am now set to fixing the originals by helicoil. Question is what size insert will it be? thread measurements are anything between 6.8-6.9mm. So m7?? Who uses M7s? Quote Link to comment
Dezza Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Yip, M7. Don't APE do oversized M8 bolts though so a more common M8 insert can be used? Quote Link to comment
ElBlandito Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) Check through Clive's NWS slabby thread. I remember him posting a kit he found with the M7s. edit: looks like page 27 of 40 in his post Edited February 27, 2019 by ElBlandito Quote Link to comment
