Dicklez Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Buy a timesert kit. Better than helicoil. Prob your best option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spurdy Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 What Picklez said... best option. Never seen a timesert. Just becareful if you are using a head that has o-rings that the drilled hole for the thread insert doesn't interfere with the o-rings ability to seal around the stud. I def wouldn't size it up to an M10. Pretty sure the super glue comment was a joke. You didn't honestly think that might have a snowballs chance in hell of working, did you?
