 Re: Sparkplug- insert or helicoil Yes know all about inserts coming our and helicoils too. However helicoils are much easier to replace, I recon. The Time-Serts seam the way to go Thanks for the links, good stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvmL0pEp ... dded#at=55http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFSyfY1V ... r_embedded

Re: Sparkplug- insert or helicoil Sam..its a replacement thread in effect in the cylinder head - you over bore the knackered thread then wind in a "new" thread - the helicoil - with special tools and voila new thread for your plug.
