Looks like welding won't be an option at least for now.

I did find a Time Sert kit I can afford. In the meantime I'll try this.

The problem is the hole is not square caused by that cheap tool. The second one would have worked if it was square to the chamber. The Time Serts looked like they had a shoulder but they don't. Not having accurate measurements compounded the problem. The Big Serts do have a shoulder for the gasket to seal on. If I can get the threads to seal the problem will be solved. If not the gasses will burn past them and I will have a bigger problem. The triple Big Sert will be the last chance. Another issue is the cast in valve seat so the insert has to be short enough to miss them and fit flush with the head surface. I will have two two work with.
It all started by relying on the auto parts stores in this Podunk town Desperate Hot Springs. Not finding a known item (M 14 Helicoil kit) and buying a cheap unknown insert kit with no instructions with inserts they don't sell more of. Then having to buy the more expensive kit only to find it is larger, you have to buy parts you don't need and still no instructions.
Once this is over fail or not, I'm going to start another thread on this subject, transfer my clips and comments in the hope others won't have to go through this as I had to. Lots of conflicting information out there leading you into a RAT HOLE. :angry:
BTW, Got a reply from Cal Van.
Do you sell a tap and standard M 14 inserts that can be used on a motorcycle head? What is the OD of the inserts you have in stock?
Unfortunately, we do not. The only m14 inserts we have are for the Ford Triton engine. The OD is .75.
Wouldn't have worked anyway. :dry:
