Spark plug timesert repair?

[bozothenutter]

Well, mine did it as well, and yes, on #3 cylinder (and while checking the others, #1 didn't tighten either.
I have a Facom timesert set coming (tbh it looks like the cheap ebay ones....), but hey, who can afford the Würth sets?
I get the general principle, ( liberally grease the tap) but I'm still left with a few questions.


- The Würth set comes with a 'seat grinder/cleaner', is this needed? BGS do one.

- Some sites mention High temp threadlock for the insert, yes?, no? which one?
The Henkel site doesn't show all of them, and makes you go through all the datasheets seperately. Is resistance up to 230C enough?

- Would it be wise to do all of the plugs? There's not a lot of room to wiggle and check for movement.

Aye I've done it, still got the kit if you wanna know what to buy (the cheapest one because they're all the same)

I've done 5 trackdays and thousands of miles on my repair

Read from this post onwards about how to do it

The one I bought isn't listed anymore but this one is the closest I could get

Prices haven't really changed since I bought mine
