The skinny:
Spark plug helicoil is going bad - uncoiling out of the socket. I know that I want to timesert it to fix the problem. BUT Since the socket has a helicoil in it (that needs to come out) what size timecert do I need to get? ALSO How do I get the bad helicoil out of the head without doing further damage to the head? The head is off the engine, so I am not worried about bits of coil falling into the cylinder. This site has MANY sert options, but I don't know which one I need. HELP?! http://www.timesert.com/html/sparkplug.html Thanks Zach |

Zach,
Be sure to contact Timesert directly before you buy! When I was looking for some timesert kits, the few places that had them "on line" wanted outrageous prices - and they differed widely in cost on top of that! While searching, came across a thread that talked about buying directly from Timesert. Whadda ya know - they had the best prices of anybody (by a wide margin) of anywhere else I found that sold them! Call or email them for a price list. All I could think of was (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) at the mark-up of the other places! Jeff |

Jeff I bought my kit directly from TimeCert because I couldn't find one at a vendor for less than 30%+ markup of the retail list price anyway. |
