Hi All -
Getting ready to order the time cert stuff to repair an exhaust stud on my 2.7. They sell many depths - does anyone know the correct size?

Thanks!!

IIRC the 16mm is what you want.

Thanks!

6 inches, start drilling

Told ya you can borrow my set Scott. Just buy some 8.x1.25 inserts. Actually, if all you need is one don't even bother buying inserts. I have 3 or 4.

You need at least 8mm of thread engagement. Anything more than that is a bonus. HOWEVER, be aware that the design of the TimeSert requires room for the driver/installation tool to extend substantially beyond the insert to lock in the threads. If you use a long insert, the blind hole won't be deep enough to allow the insert to be "set". That's why I use Helicoils in blind holes. BTW, I have a drill fixture that I would rent out. It places the hole correctly and aligns the drill and the installer so the insert is straight.
