Came to fit my exhaust manifolds to the head and one stud wouldn't tighten up and i ended up ruining the thread, Robin recommended these timeserts, i'd never heard of them before but thought i'd give it a try.

Bad Hole


Make hole bigger with drill


Hole is bigger


Counterbore the hole


The hole ist counterbored


Make new thread in the hole


New thread ist in de hole


Screw in ze insert


Use special tool to wind insert in and lock in place, ja!


Insert is inserted


Worked really well and i managed to do it all myself without cocking it up any further.

They're ace, got all my caliper bolts timeserted

Did you loctite them in? The guy helping with my calipers recommended it but said its probably not overkill tbh.

nah, the last tool is meant to lock them in place. Exhaust manifold is only 25Nm so not much force involved

it is, the tool to insert it wouldn't wind in all the way and touched the back of the hole

I ended up countersinking a small hole in the manifold instead.
