LM

Thanks for the information. I'm going to get hold of a kit and try it out.

I have now purchased all sizes of the metric Time Sert and recommend them to all others.
Once a person has used them Heli Coil is OK but not up to par with the Time Sert.
Install same as Heli Coil as for installation time.
They don't require you to peen the end over.
Same as any new thread kit the cost isn't cheap to start however the coil/threads will STAY in place. ..................lm

I just googled LM's Time Sert and they look pretty good for spark plug holes as you can peen the end over to stop it winding out. The little flange on the top stops it winding in. Quite neat.

If you want helicoils for anything else just do a search on eBay for thread repair coils or heli-coil.

I use TIME CERTS (spl) to repair my damaged plug threads. ............lm

I do as much work as I can and am amazed by the number of these parts you restore in actually a short time. ..............lm

Thanks. I spend time making tools and fixtures where I can. Once those are done, the actual task is often quite simple and quick.

How will you repair that crack, G?

I can supply that part many times so no real reason the fix a crack. ............................lm

LOL, I might be wrong, but I somehow think that G will want to fix it just because it would be a challenge. He certainly doesn't need another chain tensioner....

I agree.
And he will show us how. ...................lm
