Helicoil rentals, tips, experiences?
I did a little damage to threads on one of five valve cover bolts yesterday. It seems to be maybe okay, but I could use some "off-topic tech" advice on helicoil kits in case I need one. Can you rent them? Do they all cost $250-$600 like the stuff I quick searched at O'Reilley and Autozone? Are there smaller kits known-good for my specific application (the internal threads for a 10mm bolt seating)?
Thanks!
