Need an oversize head bolt thread repair for a 2000 Silverado 5.3 Liter?

We had a recent customer that asked this question.

Question - I need a big sert for a 2000 Chevy Silverado 5.3 . Stripped insert already or damaged not tightening. Which kit do I need to fix the head bolt threads on a 2000 Silverado with a 5.3 for a second time repair when a Helicoil has failed? 

Answer - The oversize kit for a second time repair when a Helicoil has failed, on a 2000 Chevy Silverado with a 5.3 Liter which uses an M11x2.0 head bolt size is the 3700BS. For others that may have a similar issue see the vehicles below that also use M11x2.0 head bolts. Keep in mind that the 3700BS is an oversize repair. We also have the Time Sert 3700 which is for a first-time repair when oversize is not needed. This is just a partial listing (based on looking up the head bolt size) so if you are working on something that is not listed use our contact form or call us for assistance in getting the right kit.
