anyone ever put a timsert in, after helicoil fail?

Hey Im not trying to give you any grief. Just thought maybe if you were in a hurry or wanted to fix it quicker, it was and is an option. I ve got a head sitting doing nothing, but it needs 1 exhaust valve replaced and lapped. No Im not offering or suggesting you but it. Its not for sale. Damn some calm posts and some where you fell off the bus.
Keep cool.

WTf are you talking about

this thread is mine and I'll say whatever comes to mind...and no I aint buying a piece of shit head cause threads are stripped on my running bike........

LOL Tri, you always get so fired up. I can't blame you for not wanting to trust a used head. Let us know how the new insert works out. Good piece 9 info to have in case it ever happens to me.

Plug the hole and call it a KZ900 tripple.... :whistle:

the bike ahs made it to my patio and and stares at me...today 24 ling cod...20 inch cabezon...20 inch olive rock fish and four blue rock fish kept me from measuring the plug....I swear the bike sits on my list....new front entry door for the honey do list...and fishing called...maybe monday

You said I'm from "nowhereville". You smell like fish. See ya at 4 corners. Your name will not be on the flag, you little boy with the camera

346.45...on the doorstep in 48 hours.....very nice kit...full pamphlet and laminated shop style sheet "how to use"....all tools to timesert and bigsert...inserts sold separate @ 7 each...6 each if you buy 10 or more...so I bought ten...now...who else needs to fix some sparkplug holes...p.m if you do...renting the kit to kzrider members from here on out so no one need spend the 345 again...rent being deposit...and pay shipping...one t-shirt or local to your area goody..something cheap....serious here...anyone needs this on this site we can talk

I may get to it this weekend...20 minute job....done on the bike...power stroke..Bottom the next stroke....valves closed piston down...grease the tools and tap...brake cleaner and vacuum out ....

Right on Tri! Git'er done.

Would definitely try running the tap for the standard insert in first- if you can get threads you might be better off with the smaller insert. The OD on the bigserts is pretty large- used one on my old beater 'yota truck and was thinking the bigsert might possibly interfere with your valve seats. Just a thought.....

good though..I'll look at it...

You needed one so you bought ten? So, you are just going to leave head on while you drill out the hole and put cert in? How do you keep shrapnel from going in chamber? If it does, how will you remove it? Just curious. I think they did that to my brother's bike that I rode so hard it popped a spark plug (ex 500) was riding wheelies around corners the front end was so light. Pushed it to redline every shift then she popped.
