the guy who used to wrench on my back hoes always said time-serts were the hot ticket,but i dont remember ever installing one myself.
i normally have machine shop do the heli-coils in cylinder heads for me,that way if they jack it up installing them they get to fix it :laugh:

KZ250LTD thanks for bumping this. I was putting my cams back in the other day and stopped to convert the in.lbs to ft.lbs but had not got back to it yet. I will be using the lower value now.
