    Nice job with this repair and explanation. Really appreciate what you share with your followers...

    I've been using the Time-Sert inserts for a few years now in the UK to repair model aircraft engine glow-plug threads. The one criticism I have of their kit is that the drill supplied does not have enough flutes, making it difficult to drill using a hand-held drill like you're doing. I get round this by using smaller drills initially and gradually increasing to the size required using the drill supplied. The flange on the 1/4 x 32 inserts make them ideal for open holes, rather than heli-coils.

    I believe the word you were trying to think of was, 'counterbore'.

      There's nothing wrong with critical remarks, as long as you expound on how you would do this differently. If you go on to say an ovesize plug is better, those of us who know better will be able to understand why you are reluctant to add detail. If you are saying that steps were missed in the Timesert installation, we're listening. Silence will say you can't back up your point.

    I shut the video off at three minutes and 40 seconds when he was about to drill it!… I have a come across many of these situations and I just run a flat bottom tap in there to clean up the threads and then put (screw) in an oversized plug that I get from the auto parts store… Very quick, very easy, very done right the first time without screwing around putting pieces of metal into the oil pan and then screwing around with a Heli coil!!! I wish that some of these TH-cam repair guys would consider doing the job the right way in the beginning because they have people that really don’t know better doing it their way which makes it twice as bad!

      I agree with ryan x. It seems you don't know the difference between a Time-Sert insert and a heli-coil.

      @Bryan-Hensley 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Uhh a tap makes metal shavings. Besides your comment doesn't make sense. If there's no threads left to clean up the oil plug is going to fall out. Then you'll have plenty of metal from spun bearings. Maybe you should have kept watching, you might actually learn the difference between a heli-coil and a time-sert instead of making a fool of yourself. SMH

      @@ryan-uz1rw won’t last huh Ryan??… I have put in those plugs after chasing the threads with a tap five years ago and three years ago respectfully on two different customers cars after idiots like you have ripped them out and destroyed the threads!
      What he has there is an expansion plug he does not have an oversized plug so you should know the difference between that but you don’t. I’m talking about using a company made oil drain plug that is slightly over sized in applications such as this when you just run it with a tap to clean up the threads. What he had was an expansion plug in there before, not an oversized plug…big difference! After I run a tap I have put the vacuum cleaner on the hole does to clean out a little bit plus I run half a quart of oil back through the engine to help flush out any pieces of metal from the pan going outward. And I see you got a little kiss ass star / heart from the guy that doesn’t know how to do the job right in the first place, So nice to show ignorance sticks together and rewards other idiots!

      @@Doing_it_right_the_first_time Well to be fair no matter which way you do it you're going to introduce metal shavings. I can see how using a tap would be the better option in some situations but there are also times where the threads are so far gone you need to either install new ones or install an oil pan. Often times repairing the pan is cheaper than replacing. Basically what I'm trying to say here is that you guys need to agree to disagree because you both have good points

      @@Doing_it_right_the_first_time are you under the impression that I installed this expansion plug? If so. Please watch the whole video because I did not. I installed a time sert insert and then a factory replacement, normal drain plug. I honestly don't know what you think I did wrong. 🤔 Anyways, no big deal. My repair was quality. There were zero threads left in that hole and I made a permanent repair with the insert.
