Hello List,
As some may remember, about a week ago I discovered my '88
5kcstq had a stripped spark plug thread.
I'm about ready to order my Time-Sert kit to allow me to
repair/replace the threads for my cylinder #5's spark plug hole.
My problem is that I don't know which size bushings to buy. There
are many sizes, all based on the spark plug dimensions. I don't
know what the dimensions are, and I'd like to find some online or
from you folks.
I could measure the plug I suppose, but I imagine there is a true
specification listed somewhere that I'd prefer to use.
The website for the Time Fastener Company is
http://www.timesert.com
Or, specifically for spark plugs:
http://www.timesert.com/sprksert.htm
So far, I believe the correct kit is the one for washer seat (not taper
seat) plugs in 14mm x 12.5mm size. The insert lenth choices are
(in mm):
7.0
8.0
9.4
11.0
13.5
15.0
16.8
I appreciate any info anyone could provide.
Thanks,
Ken
