Re: Spark Plug Hole Thread Repair
30 May 2022 12:32 - 30 May 2022 12:41Time Sert inserts are copper plated for the heat transfer.
Found a lightly used Time-Sert M14 x 1.25 tool kit on ebay...
Just need four 44111-m14x1-25-x-660-16-8mm-washer-seat-spark-plug-inserts
Thanks y'all for the great input and suggestions!

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.
