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

Product Information

What type of spark plug do you have? Washer seat or Taper seat. Washer seat sparkplug's will have a washer to seal the spark plug against the head. Taper seat spark plugs will have a taper to seal against the head. Our loctite p/n 6020 is required on taper seat spark plug inserts. Only the taper seat style spark plug inserts require loctite not washer seat. We are sealing on the built in taper of the insert so we have a perfect seal from the spark plug to the insert but we need to insure that the external threads of the insert are sealed by the loctite to keep any gases from passing by the external threads of insert as a precaution. Use Time-Sert driver oil p/n 6010 or 30 wt motor oil on the external threads of the driver when installilng inserts. 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 NOTE: Try to not bend over the tool or bottom the driver out in the hole. We suggest using a tap handle wrench when installing.

Apply oil to the insert driver to help lubricate it and to minimize the chance of galling the threads of the insert during installation. 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. On installation: Screw the insert in the hole with loctite to the desired location. Let the insert set up with the loctite before running the insert driver tool through the insert. The loctite will prevent the insert from going to deep into the prepared hole.Counterbore the hole using the tool supplied in the kit. The tool has a built-in depth-stop feature that limits the counterbore to the proper depth for installation of the insert. Any claims for Discrepancies in shipment must be made within one week of receipt of merchandise or no credit will be issued. 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-SERT ® inserts have a flange, which will give them a positive placement on installation for “accurate specific depths”. This ensures that the insert does not wind down into the threaded hole. The video example shows the speed in which TIME-SERT inserts can be installed in a blind hole applications using a pneumatic push pull tapper. To our knowledge there is no insert on the market that can be installed faster in a hand volume application where a specific depth is required. The insert in the video is a M10x1.5x14mm. Tests in the laboratory have shown that the Time-Sert repairs are equivalent to the original threads in most cases.

Example. The blind hole depth for a 5/16-18x.450 should be a minimum of .700 inches or 17.8mm deep. The insert is provided with a built-in flange that automatically positions its depth during installation. S.T.I stands for "Screw Thread Insert" an example would be a TIME-SERT M8x1.25 repair kit would require a M8x1.25 S.T.I tap, this is "larger" than a standard M8x1.25.

This simplifies installation and produces a strong, permanent repair by allowing the full torque of the fastener to be applied to the repaired threads.The thin wall is made possible because the internal and external threads of the insert are synchronized. The small outer diameter of the insert allows for installation in locations where space is a premium. 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.

When you get to top dead center you won't feel anymore pressure use a wire hanger put down the hole. The tool kits listed are the "Internal size". If you are repairing a M12 bolt or stripped thread you will need a M12 kit. 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. Answer: Yes, this can be done by remarking the tools for the deeper depth on the lower bank of the 2000.

How do I use the tools to fit a Time-Sert?

TIME-SERTs can be removed with a spiral point screw extractor, or drilled out with the drill that came in the repair kit. Follow the 2 man step on getting the valves closed and piston all the way down on the instructions. TIME-SERT ® inserts have no prongs or tangs to break off or deal with down in the hole, which can be a 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.
