TIME-SERT M6x1.0 Thread Repair kit #1610

Product Information

Customers have found in their own testing data that TIME-SERT’s have exceeded their expectations. Many of our larger customers will test TIME-SERT’s before placing them in critical applications and find excellent results. Why does the installation of a Time-Sert require the use of an STI tap? What is an STI tap? Can a standard tap be used instead?

Screw the insert onto the installation tool by hand. The insert will only thread on part-way because of the partially-formed threads at the lower end of the insert.We recommend our loctite p/n 6020 on the external threads of the insert in head bolt applications and commonly include p/n 6020 in many head bolt kit applications. Example. The blind hole depth for a 5/16-18x.450 should be a minimum of .700 inches or 17.8mm deep.

TIME-SERT will state that if the thread repair is done correctly and with the proper length of insert used for the application e.g. the insert is the same length of the original thread engagement, the result should be a hole that should match the original torque specification of the hole.

You can also get Time-Serts in boxed ranges of tools and inserts

This is common on all inserts, if some of your inserts only screw on a few threads of the driver tool don't worry the driver tool will screw through the insert fine when installing. Of course always use oil on the install driver tool when installing inserts, this can be a 30wt motor oil. Answer: Yes, this can be done by remarking the tools for the deeper depth on the lower bank of the 2000. S.T.I stands for "Screw Thread Insert" an example would be a TIME-SERT M8x1.25 repair kit would require a M8x1.25 S.T.I tap, this is "larger" than a standard M8x1.25.
