N54 Oil Cooler Bolt Threads Stripped.. Which Helicoil set do I need?

gster109 · 09-01-2021, 10:34 PM

the 3 bolts that are at the front, the oil cooler ones. They are not torquing to spec (16nm, correct me if im wrong..)

Do I need a Thread Repair Kit M8 x 1.25 or M8 x 1.0 or even m8 x 1.5 for those oil cooler bolts?

These are the bolts, could anyone understand which helicoil kit I need for thread repair for my oil cooler gasket housing?

anyone got any idea??? I believe the Helicoil kits need to just know the thread pitch, which is no where to be found lol.
