$25 big drill bit set of 8 total 1/2"-1"
Free
1/2 drill bit I had laying around
I also had a new coil and sparkplug (2
$20 off eBay) from when it first happened an I thought timesert cared about us.
They don't.
I made a 7/8" insert so their claim to have the biggest one out there is a bag of lies !!! Hahaha
I digress, I took a 7/8 bolt I got from our local farmers feed and tack joint called (coastal farm) for $2.18. Put in in my vice and squeezed it super hard, so it would'nt move. I cut off the threads, and went about threading it with my 7/8-14 NF. It was a PItA but I got it done, I had to use a pipe wrench so it wouldn't slip off the die when cutting. I had some sweat and a few curse words but I got it done.
Next was to drill out the center with a little 1/8" bit I had that was new. I stress the new bits because they cut kick ass and you don't have to worry while trying to keep your hole centered and true, also a bit of advice use your center punch. I did an I still went off center.
Then 1/2" drill bit to chase the hole out big enough to do the spark plug threads 14mmx1.25. This part was also tuff because you have to back out every couple turns and it's a blind hole so you have to clean it out often.
Also use lots of tap oil (cutting fluid) it helps everything inside or out.
After all that was done and I was satisfied with the depth of both inner and outer threads, I cut the insert off the rest of the big ass bolt I used, and I started checking an fitting the sparkplug to my homemade 7/8" insert. I had to wrestle some with it to get it to workout how I wanted but what I ended up doing is leaving a little of the threads not done at the top of the insert so it would stop inside the head, I did my best to match it with the depth of the one that got spit out(as show in pics).
After all that was done I welded a 3/8" extension to the end of the 13/16 drill I got out of my harbor freight set. Make sure it's as straight as you can possibly get it, this will help big time when your drilling. I used a swivel to get my drill to work inside the cramped engine compartment. It was interesting but the drill did its work easy like through the aluminum. I hit something that stopped my drill bit at the end of the hole, I'm hoping it's not a valve , I cranked the engine over by hand to make sure the piston was lower and to check if the thing I hit would move , if it was a valve it should have moved but didn't after I turned the engine A little.
Next I welded a 3/8" extension onto the back of the 7/8" tap. Make sure to weld it on super solid, not just tack it like I did. It broke off ...
in the engine...
while I was taping the hole...
Luckily I was done and I'm a wrench ninja and got the tap backed out with my fancy skills. (I was proud of myself , can you tell?)
Once the tap was free'd and I had all the shavings vacuumed out to my satisfaction, I slapped the insert in!
Also I used a ~7/8" hose and jammed it into the end of our dyson for inside the house, don't tell my wife. It sucked that hole dry, as in no mas el shavingsO
Be sure to use high temp thread locker on the OUTSIDE of the insert, and use anti seeze on the INSIDE of the insert for the spark plug. Otherwise you'll have a bad day when it comes time to change your sparkplugs.
So just to be clear I just fired up the expy for a couple minutes after I was done to see if it ran and wasn't spitting my insert out. I haven't driven it anywhere yet, but I am confident it will have no issues for the next 50,000 miles till it's new plug time again. I'll update later when I find out.
Here's a pic of the taps an die I got from Napa.
