WEll i pulled the threads out of one of the headstud holes some how so now i am trying to fix it. i want to use timesert since they seem to have the best reputation. but where can you get them . i looked on the timesert site and they have a kit for my motor but after callling one of the distributors he says they cant get that part number. so i looked at the sizes available and they have m10 x 1.25 in lengths 9, 14,16, 20,25 only 14 and 20 have part numbers . so i measured the threads on the headstud and they are like 31mm so are any of those lengths sufficient? the guy told me he could get a 20mm long one so i dont know where icould get the 25 if its available so would 20 be long enough i remember in my coop job i was told you need like 2 times the diameter of the bolt of depth which is 10mm so in that case 20 would be at the bottom of the req...but im not sure that is the correct formula. please help i need these asap my car has been down for almost a month already things like this **** keep poping up

just got off the phone with one of the distributors and the specialty kit for the headstud is 370 bucks and they "said" the normal ones wont work. so what are you guys doing about this cuz i know you arent paying 370 bucks to fix a headstud hole

retap them all for b16 headstuds if worse comes to worse.
