[QUOTE="69ST, post: 181401, member: 5"] For sparkplug hole repairs, I prefer Timeserts. It does take a bit of skill/experience to get them perfect but they're well worth it. A f**ked-up head casting is a high price to pay. I've had good results with Helicoils, but I farmed them out. The saving grace, in a worst case scenario is that an m10 Timesert could still be used, if the M10 helicoil failed. Once you go to M12, no more second chances. For every other threaded hole in the engine, Helicoils work well and are cheap. [/QUOTE]
