Thanks Kombikim:thumb

Just a thought, on another forum, a boxer BMW one, it was suggested to use a helicoil first as they use less of the surrounding structure than a timesert. If and when the helicoil dies then you still have enough alloy left to use a timesert. If the timesert dies.... well you are screwed.....If the threads are lubed and not tightened with a bloody big grip the helicoil should work fine.

Ive not used a timesert, Ive used a number of helicoils and found them to work well.

My opinion and worth what you paid for it😀

kkk

& the system I got to repair a spark plug thread, which was "cheap" & readily available from CBC Bearings, was called Recoil, similar to Helicoil , to find out your local distriutor phone

I have had a time sert put in.
Quick and easy

From what i have read a lot of racers have new heads done straight away with time serts.

I dont think there is a chance of the time sert dieing
I would (did) just go with that one.

You can but it
