Strasse Sport_Thread Repairs
Ivan does spark plug thread repairs for those that are interested. Get it done right from a pro!
 He uses TIME-SERT and unlike Helicoil, it won't blow out or screw out when you take out your spark plug.

This is really great to know!
Had a spark plug blow out on a V8 F150, took it to the dealer paid like 500 bucks for them to put a heli-coil even when I took them a paper from Ford that specified to specifically use a time-sert. Blew back out 6 months later, ended up sourcing a used engine for cheap and went in that direction. |

 Ah man that sucks. Yeah, I hear a lot of negative things about Helicoil as far as repairs for spark plugs. Everything else seems fine, but specifically for spark plugs, TIME SERT is really the way to go. Quote:
