[QUOTE="Tubecatgs, post: 228022, member: 4885"] So have a 1987 Honda XL250r. Love the bike it's in great shape and its been restored so it's worth putting some time into fixing it. When i got the bike it had a blown head gasket and soot and small oil leakage on the left/left rear side. Had a reputable shop rebuild it 2 years ago with new piston and rings.... only about 100 miles on it since... Well, the head is puffing soot and looks like a blown gasket again in the same spot... so i started to take it apart and the head bolt on the left side wasn't tight... ok, seemed odd... continued to tear it down and noticed there is a helicoil in that bolt hole in the cylinder .... I assume the helicoil didn't hold or slipped... is there a way to remove the helicoil and what recommendations to get another helicoil in and to stay put? I don't want to buy another jug if I don't have to because the piston is new and cylinder was just honed. Thanks for any advuce[ATTACH=full]33026[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
