An after thought for those who wish to repair anything with damaged threads from spark plug hole to whatever Helicoil is one of the worst things I have ever used for any thread repair.
Use TimeSerts made by Wurth Germany yes they cost more and you need the kit to use them however they are very easy to install and it will not pull out like the helicoil will. I have repaired machines where there is high temperatures of 450 to 550 degrees mixed with high pressures of 3000 psi and more with TimeSerts and we disassemble theses things all the time with no failures to the thread repair. The web page for Wurth is .......
