Dave, I am happy to hear that your mechanic got your beast back on the road so quickly. I've had good results with heli-coils in the past, but TimeSerts sound like a real improvement. I wonder what my ole Shelby engine engine uses? Rich
Rich, it probably doesn't use or need any thread inserts unless some numbnut inadvertently pulled a stud while torquing down the rocker assembly or the heads.
