Will this work on a 2000 Dodge Caravan w/out removing the head & w/out drilling?

I used it to avoid buying a new head for my lawnmower after I stripped the sparkplug threads. You do have to tap the hole to a larger size, to accommodate the Helicoil insert, which then allows the sparkplug to seat tightly. You can do this with the head in place, but there is of course risk of metal particles getting into the cylinder, as another user has noted.

Once you retreaded it will leave metal particle in the cylinder head, unless you have a excellent method of removing the metal particles with the head in place. You can try a magnet or a very good vacuum or both no guarantees??? - you'll have a problem for it will damage the internal lining of the cylinder therefore making the block useless. The best practice is to remove the head.I did remove mine, hop this will help.

I don't know about it working on a Dodge Caravan but it probably would. You do not have to remove the head and you do not use a power drill. You do have to rethread the bad plug entry using the tap that comes with the kit. Then install (screw in) the replacement threaded sleeve. Its not difficult.

also, you might end up with steel/aluminum shavings in your cylinder head, if you TAP cut the threads shavings ave to go somewhere and most likely into your head, causing much more problems

I used it on a 3.4 L Toyota with the head attached. The instructions are good, but you haven't tapped a plug hole before, I would have someone who has done it help you out.

I used it on a 2006 Dodge Caravan with a Denso 136 amp alternator and it worked perfectly.

Don't see why it wouldn't. I used this one on dodge 4.7 heads with out exhaust manifold attached. Worked really well. Takes sometime to get used to it tho.

Yes. I use these onboth my 2001 dodge caravan and my 2005 dodge caravan in size 28 for the front and 16 for the rear. These will work on all dodge caravans from 99 to 2007. 2008 up the windshield was redesigned along with the boxier body.

That vehicle is not specifically listed in the tool description so I would suggest calling OTC Tech support at 1-800-533-6127 and ask them if it will work.

Without knowing what make and model truck you have there is know way to tell if it will work on your application. I used it on a 97 Dodge Caravan.it worked great. MarkR

to be honest with you this will only work done stripped heads that are not seized up. if this thing is seized in there you're going to want to go for the next biggest tool. if you think you could get it out if you could just get a grip on it but then this will probably work. I broke a couple of mine in this set. They are decent, but have limits.

With a reducer it will work. My new ram 2500 came with one but you can get one at the auto parts store for under $20.

We used for a 2005 grand caravan...not power lift...but I would imagine that they are the same aside from the motor that will lift yours. I WISH I had the power lift...that thing is heavy!

I bought them for my brother in law and they went without a hitch into the 1999 Dodge caravan. I do not know if they fit the 2000

Mine had to be modified for a 2000 Dodge Ram maxi Van wagon. If you can drill holes and bend metal I'm sure you could adapt it.

This kit will work on any year caravan with any engine, it comes with the most adapters of any set I could find including one for a 3.2L chrysler that I had to make a tool for the last time I did one.

Yes, it should, I used it to remove ac clutch on a 2000 Buick century to install a new bearing in pulley

Yes it would. I have repaired many lawn mowers and outboards and car's with this kit. You might have to get different sizes after a few Repairs. But for your motor. It should be in this kit.Also put grease on the valley area of the tap. Then your shavings stay in the grease, and you do not have to "Remove the head".

Yes, it will work, but you have to have a hole drilled into the 2-piece rod in order for the bearing installer portion to work correctly. It's not that big of a deal if you have or know someone with a home drill press or has access to one at work. Be aware that there are no instructions with this product.For bearing removal you'll need a slide hammer type puller similar to the at the link.Sunex 3911 Slide Hammer Puller Set
