    I'm a retired Machinist and I want to say your instruction are great. I did a repair on my 2014 Harley with the Time Sert system. If you take your time its is a great system. I contacted Harley about my problem and this is the system they use. They wanted $2,00000 to repair the threads. Thanks never go cheep...

    You made that look almost easy. I hope I never suffer that particular horror but if I do I'll buy the Time-Sert kit and watch the video a dozen times before I try to fix it. And maybe meditate for twenty minutes to calm my nerves.

    Glad i stumbled upon this video. Have to do the same job on my Audi and was researching the different kits out there. Familiar with helicoils for other applications but did not feel too comfortable with it in this application. The time sert kit is expensive in comparison no doubt, but really does seem like the best way to do this job without removing the cylinder head. Greatly appreciate the video. Made my decision very simple. Ill be ordering a time sert kit tonight. Thank you!

    Speaking as an Ex-Engineer. I thought you made a mighty fine job of that. Although I know these insert things exist, this is the first time I've ever seen anyone do this job in full. By the time you were ready to fit the Spark Plug back in, I thought how good it looked. I know from experience its not easy starting a Tap off nice and square. All too easy to get it at an incorrect angle so to speak. Well done! - I doff my cap sir... :-)
    One final thing. Just how do people cross the threads in the first place? Bewildered...lol

    I've done time sert's before and I was always worried about leaving shavings in the cylinder. I made and attachment for my shop vac with a rubber pole cap that fit the diameter of the shop vac hose and put bendy straw thru that rubber cap, then sealed it with hot glue so I could put the bendy straw in the cylinder and suck it all out. I thought I was a genius, ha!

    Excellent video that provides a good view of the actual repair; however, if you're repairing a deep well vehicle spark plug be sure to run the insert driver tool towards the end of the insert before threading in the spark plug hole. I tried using the halfway method and ended up seating the insert a 1/4" from face of the hole. Fortunately I was able to use an extractor to remove the insert. On the second try, I ran the insert driver close to the end of the insert which allowed me to thread it all the way in the hole before finally setting it in the seat. I also used red threadlocker and let it sit overnight before installing the spark plug.

    Nice work. I had some threads go bad on my 64 Triumph. The right side Spark plug popped out while I was riding the bike. I didn't trust myself to attempt this job so I brought it to a local mechanic who specializes in vintage British bikes. I think he used a heli-coil but I'm not sure. The time-sert seems like a better option.

    When I finished motorcycle technical college and set up my own motorcycle workshop, I only ever used Wurth Time-Sert thread repair inserts.

    Really, really well done - I'm saving this as a tutorial in case I ever have to do it.
    Towards the end I was thinking, why not put some red thread lock on the Time-Sert to keep it in there? After all, red thread lock can only be released by - oh, I get it now - heat. [facepalm]
    Great tip with the grease in the gaps to catch the swarf - I'm sure there would have been a lot more otherwise, and the blowout method seemed very effective. Hmm, I wonder if a vacuum adapter would work, made to seal the spark plug hole... you'd probably have to crack a valve open the slightest bit for some inlet air, but all the suction would go into the vac. Hmmm...

      Not by name but yes the kit. It worked for a while. Better heads are preferable. Not repairs. I sold the CL 350 with that repair. It worked for me. Once sold it got fracked up somehow. Not my idea of making an aircraft or motorcycle correct.

      Great job. Enjoy the methodical style and straightforward tutorial. I would like to add that next time you do this try taping some small diameter flexible pipe, fuel hose or smaller to a slightly larger pipe then attach or tape it to a flexible vaccum pipe to suck out the shavings. Hope this helps. 😊👍🏻

    Time-sert representatives give a much better how-to demonstration. For example, slightly unseat the exhaust valve and introduce some air flow up the pertinent exhaust pipe with a slightly open air nozzle, when done carefully, the chips will exit up the flutes of the tap . I've in done it several times and it works!

    Stripped plug threads can be avoided if you screw the plug in with your fingers, if it gets a bit tight back it off and try again, never use force or a tool to start, if the plug is deep use your tube spanner with your fingers. Feel it before you destroy it.

A small diameter vacuum tube would be a handy tool and an endoscope or just endo and suck the tube, blowing it could send it upward and with the grease stick to the top or a valve. And Endo inspection would be comfort knowing 100% not 1 single shaving left behind. Better still use your fingers to install the plug.

      @@tomthompson7400 Dang man I wouldn't think this would upset someone. The threads were stripped originally so thats why I needed the tool. The tool is initially guided in with whats left of the original threads so having it go perfectly straight is probably not a guarantee which is why this kit is valuable as it cuts a new seat in line with the new insert. Sure I could have used a longer bar but it wouldn't have made any difference.

      No need for loctite, once the insert is seated, 2 or 3 more turns of the install tool will form the unfinished threads at the bottom of the insert and swage it firmly in place.
