I've processed 100's Aluminum messed up threads brought in by Honda owners in cylinder heads to fork tubes.
HeliCoil has never failed.
In cases where a locking thread is desired at the bottom of hole, I make my own by reshaping the tap to a rolled thread action so that after coil is set in, the bolt now has to force the coil deeper into aluminum block material

Why would the top 2 threads have to carry 65 to 75% of the load as stated in the video?

@sjkoerner because metal stretches

yes, of course metal stretches -- so how does that explain why the top two threads carry 65 to 75% of the load as stated in the video?

@sjkoerner only when the bolt is in that far,... I doubt that is all true..
