OUR ONLINE CHECKOUT is CLOSED and we are NOT accepting any NEW orders at this time.

We are still fulfilling and shipping previously submitted and/or delayed order requests (as product availability allows) UNTIL NOVEMBER 15th 2022.

But after November 15th, all still pending backordered unshipped items will be automatically CANCELLED **(except for any special ordered drop-shipped or made/machined-to-order items).

Our ability to respond to emails is greatly hampered by being under-staffed during this downsize transition time. But we continue to endeavor to answer email inquiries as best we can. And we will continue responding to emails through until early March 2023 because we are wholly committed to resolving any other issues that may arise from previous sales. It is still UNCERTAIN, but we may re-open a substantially downsized version of our store again in the Spring of 2023.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding during this period of restructuring and/or closing. And a huge thank you to all of you whose support and loyalty we have been the beneficiary of over the 23 years that we have worked diligently to support the information and parts needs of the aircooled VW community!

Time-Sert Thread Repair Insert, 10 x 1.5 x 24.5mm Long, EACH, 10155
Time-Sert Thread Repair Insert, 10 x 1.5 x 24.5mm Long, EACH, 10155
Price: $4.00
Item eligible for Econo/1st Class Mail shipment, min ship charge applies

Time-Sert Thread Repair Insert, 10 x 1.5 x 24.5mm Long, EACH, 10155 is the insert for the 10 x 1.5mm Time-Sert when repairing damaged engine mounting studs that have stripped the engine case, to a better than new condition. Inserts are sold per EACH.Time-Sert inserts are superior in every way to typical "Heli Coil" thread repair kits (which are usually wrapped wire, very weak and troublesome to install!).

Time-Sert inserts are solid, and also have a flared shoulder that prevents leakage, and locks the insert into place without excessive Loctite needed.

The repair process is to drill out the old threads, then use the shoulder cutting tool (To make room for the insert's shoulder on the top), tap the hole, then install the new insert. Hole will be repaired, and will be stronger and better than it was when it was new, due to the larger diameter holding power!

Heavy Duty Lifter Bore Cutter Tool (Lifter Boss Cutter) Rental Fee, GB725
Heavy Duty Lifter Bore Cutter Tool (Lifter Boss Cutter) Rental Fee, GB725
Rental Fee $20.00
$100 Tool Core charged AT TIME OF SHIPMENT (refunded upon return per terms of service)

Heavy Duty Lifter Bore Cutter Tool (Lifter Boss Cutter) Rental Fee, GB725 is used to clearance the engine case's lifter bores for lifter head clearance. Inadequate clearance is not uncommon with high lift cam shafts, you should have .040" minimum clearance at full lift! As stated in the VW factory bulletin; the cam to cam follower boss clearance is often not enough even if you are using a new stock VW cam with the factory stock cam followers, the engine case radius is often not enough with the lifter under head profile.

High lift cams will usually require additional clearancing at the cam follower bosses. This tool is designed to be used in a drill press, but it can easily be used with high quality 1/2" hand drill if you are careful. The high speed tool steel cutter is ground with special angles to cut the boss, and to contour the radius at the same time.
