+ Ford spark plug thread repair + TIME-SERT BLOWN OUT SPARK PLUG REPAIR blow out thread repair

[DonTerhune1200cc]

Does timesert carry a fix for broken brake bleeder screws?

[oilfield666]

just buy the heli-coil tool.....if it comes out the next time you replace the plugs....insert new insert and install new plug.

this is the best video on this kind of spark plug thread repair!

[supermotofreak14]

hmmm stripped a spark plug today. should probly fix it that way. whats the kit worth in cnd$

[TimeSert]

@supermotofreak14

The kit above is p/n 5553 please vist our site for questions.

[xxxmikeyjock]

@supermotofreak14 easier to get from ebay then to find it in Canada. Wurth is the distributor in Canada but good luck finding a way to buy from them. Timesert site says Fastenal has them but that is not true in western Canada. great products, wish I could get them more reliably :)

AWESOME PRODUCT I LOVE IT!

[DavesTreeFarm]

Is this kit p/n 5553? This is different than your other video.?v=Ntiy8L97Nco.  What type of head was in that one, it looked similar. I ordered 5553 today, comes in 48 hours so I have my weekend project.

These videos are going to be very helpful. Thanks for the cutaway views.

@DavesTreeFarm

The other video is for standard spark plug thread repair.

The 5553 is specific for Fords 4.6, 5.4, 6.8 liter ect..

pumbaajk, abc auto huh? must be in texas, here in gainesville fla. we have napa, carquest, autozone, advance discount auto parts, but no abc!! but thanks for the info. ill have to get a kit soon!!

[TimeSert]

Please contact the time sert website for more info.

[therockkkkher]

timesert, thank you, i have heard this is the best one (no. 5553), i will check into the website.

[pumbaajk]

you make this look so easy. you should try this on the side of the road, in the texas heat, and frustrated that the spark plug just put a huge dent in the hood of your truck. not as simple as this 4 min video.

[therockkkkher]

ive got a 2003 f250 and its broke down with another problem right now, have you had it done with an insert kit yet?

[pumbaajk]

3 of them yes. my truck is broke down right now also. it runs great when its cold but when it reaches operating temp, it immediately starts missing. i took it to a ford mechanic and he cleared the computer and it ran great for about a week, then it started missing again. i am narrowing it down to the computer due to the fact we cant isolate the cylinder in which the problem keeps occuring.

[therockkkkher]

ah man brotha, im in the same boat and i loved my truck at first, did you have the inserts done at the dealer or did you do them yourself? could you tell me the name of the spark plug insert kit used?

[pumbaajk]

i did them myself. helicoil is the type i used and abc auto has them on hand since this is such a big problem.

[cartmankk2]

do you think JB weld work better than locktite?

[TimeSert]

@cartmankk2

We have never had any luck with Jb weld.

Use p/n 5553 Ford spark plug thread repair kit and you won't have any problems.

[therockkkkher]

randycorona55, is it still working, it still might blow out the remaining sparkplugs anyways, everyone tells me to give up my so called dream truck as soon as possible!!!

[RCWorks]

The job pays 2 hours in our shop, I can do this on the motor in 45 minutes.

Yes friends 2 flag hours in .75 and it's the cheapest fix in the city.

[KB3GZW]

I was thinking the same thing. Probably yes because the metal shavings would fall into the cylinder if you didnt.

[TimeSert]

No, you do not have to remove the head.

[truckeradg86]

no but make sure u crank the motor with plug out 2 remove the chip's

[Busa0069]

Are there more threads on the insert than the oem 97-02 ford cylinder head, to help eliminate spark plug spitting out? What are inserts made of, steel or aluminum?
