What F&@€ good for spare parts

Absolute failure. These are quality stakes. Of course. And first of all I want to say that I am a very neat and tidy person. I check and check. And he did everything exactly according to the Time-Sert instructions. The problem is that the description says they are for BMW 3 and 5 series cylinder head bolts. Well it's true. I installed the kit and was very satisfied while phase 3 is dedicated to the final tightening of the screws. 4 of them pulled the threads out in the last 1/8 turn. The real problem is this. The screw holes in the engine block are approx. 43 mm deep. At least with my E39 engine. These inserts are 24.5mm long. And only use about 21mm thread engagement. So. Do yourself a favor and find inserts that are at least 30-35mm long. Then I would trust them. Don't use them if they don't match the depth of your hole. And maybe not tighten to full capacity.

Pros
  • Solid design
Cons
  • Was damaged
