QUOTE(r_towle @ Jan 5 2010, 08:05 PM)  While you might be tempted to spend all your money at a machine shop, have some confidence and drill the two holes, put in the time certs and call it a day. Rich I agree. I've done exactly this with a TI case and a drill press. I've even done it with TI heads on the plug threads. After I drilled the hole I swapped out the drill bit for a tap. I tapped the hole by spinning the chuck by hand with just a little down pressure. That way I knew it was threaded straight. |

Is a thread locker required when reinstalling the head studs? Also, it looks like the 30mm timeserts are the right size. It's the longest size they make. 12Mx1.5 right?

Before you go and spend $100 on the TimeCert kit... Consider this.
I had a local machinist install a time cert for $25. Now, granted, if you have to install 6 or 7 of them, its cheaper to do it yourself. But if you only need one done, its cheaper to have it done for you. Zach |

Zach I must live in a strange part of the country because there are probably 100 machine shops and the first 10 I called knew nothing about time serts. Hmmmm. |

Automotive machine shops may not know, precision machine shops all will. Two different animals. With the ones I listed earlier, no special tools are required to install them, just a drill, a tap, and a screwdriver. Notice that the metric I.D. ones with a metric OD one is more than the metric ID / SAE OD. The tap for the SAE will be cheaper to. Still gives you the metric threads for your studs. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Just out of curosity, why did you remove a head stud. ?. and if you have a choise, and a spare case, (which you do) I agree that you should use it. Inspect it carefully. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Murray

Brockton, Dedham and Newburyport.
There are others, but those are THE ones that get used the most up here. Collect all your projects and bring it all at once to a shop. Its one trip for all the parts. Rich |
