Visit any local domestic performance machine shop and get it done on the cheap.

Search google for timeserts, you can purchase them through that company. On their website they are a little over $300, I had to do this last week, I got it done locally for $35 a hole.

I would love to how much you actually pay for a Timesert brand timesert. You might be confused with a different kind of insert but I know for sure how much the Timesert kits cost, feel free to call them and post your results.

The kit for a b-series is $300 + shipping from them. I got my custom d-series timeserts kit for $80 from them. I never got to use it though b/c part of the block cracked and broke when i drilled it out.

A friend of mine sent his out to a machine shop had all the holes threaded to the nascar sized arp headstuds. He also had to drill out the holes in the head alittle bigger, but he is having no problems with his engine now. And its stronger than before.</TD></TR></TABLE>

One week later... That's still nearly $100, you could have taken your block out, gone to a machine shop and had 3 done for that price by someone who knows what they're doing. Ha your car could have been running by now.

I feel your pain though, it took me about two months to find time to do all the measurments for fully building my block, when I was all done I went to put my head on and ran into the same problem. Since I had my motor sleeved/machined in California I had to take everything back off the block to send it out and rebuild everything again when it came back. I ended up finding a local domestic machine shop that did all the work for less than it would have cost to send it back out to CA.

eh, im in no real hurry. i have other cars to drive.

i have done thread repair with timesert like kits. i know what im doing. so thats not a problem. if i take my block back out that means im gonna have to buy a $200 engine hoist. and waste alot of time taking it out and then trying to get it to a machine shop since im busy and then waiting on them. and plus having to pay them.

or lets see i could get a timesert kit for about $100. you understand now?

plus i dont like the machine shops around here, theyre all v8 meatheads.
