Sav Thread
How much does it cost for a mechanic to use a time sert to repair a stripped spark plug thread?
I tried to repair the thread myself with Sav A thread repair kit and heli coil but ended up cross threading the newly tapped hole. This is a 1990 Chevy Cavalier, so I am trying to determine if its worth trying a time sert.
Since you have already tried to do it yourself and have messed it up it might be possible that it is unrepairable now. You will have to call a shop locally and have them look at it to let you know.
Anyone who gives you an answer without being able to see what damage has been done is just guessing.
Sorry it’s bad news – good luck with it.
