The skinny:
Spark plug helicoil is going bad - uncoiling out of the socket. I know that I want to timesert it to fix the problem. BUT Since the socket has a helicoil in it (that needs to come out) what size timecert do I need to get? ALSO How do I get the bad helicoil out of the head without doing further damage to the head? The head is off the engine, so I am not worried about bits of coil falling into the cylinder. This site has MANY sert options, but I don't know which one I need. HELP?! http://www.timesert.com/html/sparkplug.html Thanks Zach |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) No problem. A helicoil is a coil of wire (think a tubular spring) that threads into the socket, giving the bolt or spark plug something to thread into. They are great for things that don't get removed all that often, like head studs and the like. With spark plugs, they tend to start coming apart after a while. A time cert is a solid steel socket that replaces the old threads. They last a lot longer then coils, as they are solid. To sum up. Timeserts are solid metal. Helicoils are wire. Zach |
