Igor's Pep Boys Inserts
That same kit, marketed as a K&D product if it's a good one, is half
that at the local independent FLAPS. In my professional opinion, I would
never use one of these inserts unless the head had already lost a
timesert or helicoil. It goes farther oversize, and the inserts have (in
my 26 years experience) a far higher failure rate than the
aforementioned professional products. Pay the wrench or the machinist,
it can't be that much, and it'll be done right. Quality, in this case,
isn't that more expensive than the quick and dirty way.
Fortunately, these are not in a difficult position. Try a ChryCorp
minivan with the Mitsu 2.6/4, they're on the back where you can't
see'em.
