Yeah but i wouldn't of thought he had the bit that broke off. If he did then easy enough to weld back in but building up and grinding back would be a monster job with something that thin to start with!!! [emoji15]

I coupla sticks of ally and a TIG welder, a couple of burrs , an air grinder and a bead blast booth [emoji4][emoji106]
It's all weld.

Bloody good job Vince, well done. [emoji106] [emoji106] [emoji106] I can appreciate the work in that. We used to have to weld up ally car cylinder heads that had either coroded away or had bits broken off and machine/grind them back. Hardest part is welding the dirty ally!I coupla sticks of ally and a TIG welder, a couple of burrs , an air grinder and a bead blast booth [emoji4][emoji106]

Close. Xl [emoji2] should go, just gotta flush the tank and carb and fix a few bits and pieces and she'll make a cheap runaround farm bike. I'm pretty excited, it's my first bike since my rm 250 15 or so years ago. Haha.

Have a look around on the internets, from memory you can get spark plug thread repair kits. I have heard that helicoils can sometimes leak a bit. There have been quite a few discussions over it here on AS, for and against.

He bought a brand new unit, took some "after" photos, then smashed it with a hammer a few times, rubbed dirt all over then took some "before" photos.....viola...magic.
On a serious note, great job Vince...well done.
