These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've just had my first attempt at fitting a timesert thread repair. If anybody else needs to do a spark plug thread repair I can recommend these. A nicely put together kit which does the job very well. MC

POST 2Original post

Good video, keep it up. As you say, the head really has to be removed due to the swarf. Surprised the insert is not a left hand thread as a cross theaded plug into it can unscrew it. Pretty sure helicoil is left hand. :thumb: Your correct, helicoil has to be right hand thread :worship:

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Helicoil is a right hand thread. It has to be as it is basically a diamond shaped wire which sits in a larger thread to bring it down to size. Larger diameter, same thread pitch. I might put the plug in cross threaded and see if this will pull out. If it does I could just fit another one. MC

POST 4Original post

Timesert spark plug thread repair Thanks for taking the time to post this, always nice to have a video to 'show the way' Can i ask if this is the Stomsky kit? I have just successfully used their exhaust stud jig on my 996. On a day of disturbing news (London Bridge) your post gave some much needed light relief, Thank you.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

They are made by Wurth but sold by many people, Stomski included. MC

POST 6Original post

I used one of these kits on the thread for a front caliper bolt which stripped. The insert is much more substantial in my opinion. The pressing of the longer type insert preferable over screwing in a heli coil. Only downside was the price of the kit @ around £150 direct from würth.... albeit with plenty of legnth inserts.

POST 10Original post

Those grease tin lids can be a bit tight eh (2:55). :grin: Another great video Martin. A nice calm vibe about them and excellent info. :thumb:
