repair competed took me about 6 hrs, removed radiator, fan and fan shroud. took a bit of thinking to keep the engine from turning, I used the old crank pulley and the pulley tool which has a long handle butted up against the battery tray. drilling out the old threads by hand was slow and I had to use a lot of force, with each few turns I backed out the bit and shot some cutting oil in. that was the hardest part of the install. counter sink and tapping the new threads just go slow and back out the tap every turn or so. have some pics will upload.

The Time-sert kit is for sale I paid about $150 with shipping so if anyone needs to do this I would like to get $110 for the kit. I has 4 more inserts. Shoot me a PM or call me (Mike) 267-934-7451.
