Time-serts/Gardserts/Helicoil kits??
So 2 of the 3 motor mount bolts holes are stripped and the 3rd has one broken off inside.. Anyone know where i can buy a re-thread kit around here? I need one ASAP... Adrenaline will do it for $200 if i bring the block to them but I'm looking to save money and its my daily so don't have the time to pull the motor..
-Thanks.

And Honestly, good luck trying to do it right without pulling it. It's gonna be a tight squeeze to do it right.
Let me know, if you want us to do the timeserts, if your unable to find another way.
Fastenal doesn't stock timeserts, last time I called. But worth a try.

Hey, you spoke to me earlier. NAPA or Advanced will have helicoils. We use TimeSerts but you won't be able to do it with everything else in the kit, if we just gave you the Serts themselves.

I PROMISE you it will cost you more than Adrenaline's offer if you do it yourself. You have to buy the whole kit from Fastenall to do it right, then you might screw that up. If it's screwed up, you may tear more shit up when the repair decides to let loose.... Unless you are 100% confident in your skills (not 90%, not 95%, not 99.9%) just drop it off with Adrenaline, spend the $500 or $600 bucks for them to pull the engine and repair it correctly, and never worry about it again....

And honestly, just to help you out, I will tell the guys to pull the motor, and fix it for $600. Just because I see this going wrong. Not doubting your mechanical knowledge in any way. It's just not the easiest task to do right.

You are absolutely right about the kit, and fastenal doesn't stock them, already been down that road. Now have both the master sets in the shop.

Timesert is the way to go.. let Adrenaline do it and spare the cost of the kit. I had the head stud holes on my sleeved block done with timeserts and they are great!
