Time Sert inserts are copper plated for the heat transfer.

What’s the OD of the time-sent. I have a head I’m thinking of bringing back to life. One plug hole look like it was drilled our partially.

The result turned out better than I expected. And it was an easy project to do, thanks to the all-round simplicity of Time-Sert.Looks good.

I’m curious, what’s the purpose and how does the stepped tap work.

It guides the tap onto the hole using the old threads so it will be straight and true when done.

I don’t see a drill, am I assuming the tape is started in the stock 14mm threads and it opens up an cuts needed threads for the sert?The stepped tap helps the tap start
