Today we're talking about something that can save you thousands of dollars when it comes to you or your customer's Honda engine. We all know that aluminum engines are great for fuel efficiency, but the downside is that those head bolt threads can fail. And when that happens, you're looking at a major headache and expense to replace the entire engine block. But fear not, my friends, because we've got a solution for you: head bolt thread repair kits.

Now, you may have heard of the big brand Helicoil, but let me tell you, they're not the best when it comes to thread repair. That title goes to Time Sert and their solid bushing type inserts. These kits are the real deal when it comes to repairing head-bolt threads in the cylinder block. And the best part? They can save you thousands compared to replacing the entire engine block.

You see, Time Sert inserts have some major advantages over Helicoil's thin coils of wire. For one, they're self-locking and have an actual locking feature that expands the bottom and prevents them from coming out when a bolt is removed. Plus, they're made with carbon steel which is much stronger than the original aluminum threads. And the thin wall, solid bushing design allows for full load use of tapped holes, ensuring protection against stress and vibration. Time-Sert has all the common Honda headbolt sizes covered.

But that's not all. Time Sert inserts are also timed internal to external which means they have a very thin wall thickness, making them easy to install in areas of limited space and clearance. And since they're solid bushing inserts, they're able to easily withstand high temperatures without damage or deforming. No prongs or tangs to break off or deal with down in the hole and no hitting them with a hammer, which can be a problem in deep holes.

Now, some of you may have had a Helicoil repair fail in the past, and you're wondering what to do. Well, there is a solution, because the Time Sert "BIG-SERT" is an over-size repair that works when Helicoil has failed to hold. The M10x1.25 BIG-SERT kit is the 6250BS, the M11x1.50 BIG SERT kit is the 2200BS and the M12x1.5 is the 4800BS.
