Time-Sert M10x1.5 thread repair kit #1015 by TIME-SERT

Product Information

The bolts on this print out will probably not look like your bolt or drain plug, that's not a problem as we are only looking TIME-SERT® is a solid bushing insert. This guarantees easy installation and allows for full load use of tapped hole, ensuring protection against stress and vibration. TIME-SERT will state that if the thread repair is done correctly and with the proper length of insert used for the application e.g. the insert is the same length of the original thread engagement, the result should be a hole that should match the original torque specification of the hole. Time-Sert achieves its thin-walled cross-section due to synchronized internal and external threads of the insert.

Use Time-Sert driver oil p/n 6010 or 30 wt motor oil on the external threads of the driver when installilng inserts. Tests in the laboratory have shown that the Time-Sert repairs are equivalent to the original threads in most cases. You can also bring the bolt to your local fastener house in your area, they will be able to measure it for you. You will need to know the thread size and pitch of the bolt to repair it. This is common on all inserts, if some of your inserts only screw on a few threads of the driver tool don't worry the driver tool will screw through the insert fine when installing. Of course always use oil on the install driver tool when installing inserts, this can be a 30wt motor oil. TIME-SERT ® inserts have no prongs or tangs to break off or deal with down in the hole, which can be aTIME-SERT® is thin walled due to synchronized internal external threads. Thin cross sectional area allows for installation in areas of limited space and clearance material.

Apply oil to the insert driver to help lubricate it and to minimize the chance of galling the threads of the insert during installation. Yes Spark plug repair can be done without removing the head by placing a heavy grease on the step tap flutes to catch the chips. TIP: mechanics have mentioned that using a shop vac with a plastic tube taped to the nozzle end works well for removing any stray chips left over. Screw the insert onto the installation tool by hand. The insert will only thread on part-way because of the partially-formed threads at the lower end of the insert.and mark the tool at the point it can't enter any further. Use a ink marker or even use a small strip After the hole is drilled, counterbored, and tapped... clean the hole so that it is free of chips in preparation for installation of the insert. If you can provide the spark plug number or make, model, year, liter of vehicle we can give you a part number for the kit and insert required. Use form at the right . The insert is provided with a built-in flange that automatically positions its depth during installation.

Was the insert actually installed correctly using Time-Sert tools and square to the hole? This would have a huge effect on the outcome of the torque specification. Along with what type of material being inserted, plastics will not have the same torque values as aluminum's, steels, or cast irons. Another thing to keep in mind is the length of the insert. Inserts must match the length of the bolt threading into the hole. Too short of an insert length could result in thread failure. The reason for this is simply the weakest link effect. If you only repair the bad hole or holes and leave the others there is a very good chance the other non-repaired holes may fail.TIME-SERT makes no claims on torque specs or pullout, nor do we provide them. The reason being there are many factors that can determine the end result of the insert thread strength. One being the installation process. TIME-SERTs can be removed with a spiral point screw extractor, or drilled out with the drill that came in the repair kit.

Yes, loctite may be used on the external threads of the insert, due to the solid wall design there is no danger of it leaking thru to the internal threads. Answer: Yes, this can be done by remarking the tools for the deeper depth on the lower bank of the 2000. If multiple inserts need to be installed this can also be done using a CNC with a tapmatic reversing head.Using a tap handle, rotate the installation tool driver to thread it into the insert. The tap handle will be more difficult to turn as it expands the partially-formed threads at the lower end of the insert. Continue turning until the tap handle loosens-up and becomes easier to turn. expressly retains the right to make changes or discontinue any product it manufactures or sells at any time and without notice.
