Hi Guys,

Classic WRX-STI, had a leak on the pipe that connects one of the banks to the turbo up pipe, i got all new gaskets and did the job but on re fitting i could see that new studs had been put in the head part of the engine and one of them unfortunatly stripped the threads even before i managed to apply any pressure..

Question is do you recommend Helicoil or something ive seen called timesert ? or is there any other suggestions ?

Thanks

 

I use the TIME-SERT, you get a much stronger thread as the inserts are very hard and will never need looked at again but they are expensive about £4.00 each but well worth it I feel. You get them from WURTH
