Bought this previously used Time-Sert kit off ebay in 2022.  Figured I could get most of my money back if ever I would sell it, except for the insert cost.

I've one of those kits. They've come a long way with their design. It's WAY easy to use. I repaired #2 on my 1300 without removing the head.

The biggest mistake I made is buying that cheap insert kit with no leading tap from AutoZone. I should have bought a HeliCoil kit from Car Quest or NAPA,

The old saying "pay now or pay later" often comes to mind, but usually when it's too late.

Now where did I hear that...
