Truck blew a spark plug yesterday, aint even had it a week yet. Cheap fixes that work?

 

Only one way. Don't bother with a Helicoil. Get a TimeSert kit and repair it right the first time. Here is the one you want.

Fix what you need and sell the kit on ebay or craigslist. You'll be ahead of the game if you can find a lightly used kit in the first place. That's what I did and made $20 and fixed my truck.

 

Thanks, i only had 200$ in my bank so i went with this my dad has a tap and dye set he got for christmas a few years back. truck is a 97 f150 4.6, my grandpa who knows everyone it seems said this is the most logical not eat your wallet repair. I saw the heli coils but heard bad things so i went with this.

 

It's cheaper just to rent a Time Sert kit.

 

cant find a rental timesert........... and the cheap kit is for shallow heads..... so ill have to wait for pay day to find a kit....

 

I've never seen one for rent either. Where did you find a rental Triton Kit?

 

If that's what you want to do.

Good luck.
