Expensive but worth it!

Expensive but worth it. He takes a big problem and turns it into a simple solution! Used it to attach an elongated rocker arm hole on a 3.4L 2008 Equinox. Still cheaper than a replacement head!

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • Null

Best tool for repairing thread damage, better than spiral coil

Used to repair thread damage on a block due to faulty roller rocker assemblies on a 2003 Buick Century. Much better than spiral coil and permanent repair. Now it works perfectly. Please note that this article is specifically designed to address this issue at GM. This set does not fit.

Pros
  • Previously Satisfied
Cons
  • Modern

I was able to get decent length HeliCoil inserts so I hope I didn't spend 4x the money on a half length alternative. Fingers crossed.

Pros
  • Positive only
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Easy Peasy - Metric Inserts and Kits

Much easier than spiral coils. Worked great, I've already repaired 8 rocker arm holes and the tools that came with it still work like new. If you need more inserts than what is included, make sure you order the correct inserts. It looks like the inserts in this kit were specifically designed for this application. I had additional inserts that matched in depth and thread, but the ledges were slightly larger than the inserts in this set. Those big shoulders won't fit through the hole that the…

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • Purity
