HI guys I have a question about the timeserts I need. Is the inside of the insert fully threaded or only oem style 4 thread and which kit do I need.I just want to make sure I get the one I need.

Thanks

What year is your V10? Is it in a SD, EX, or E-series?

Also, give them a call. The TS were really helpful when I had to put in an insert on a Dodge Neon. They can explain exactly what you need. D.

that should be the price for the full kit with 10 inserts. labor is ery hard to say as it changes from shop to shop and state to state. gut feeling guess with high labor rates in new jersey about 1K

WELCOME to FTE bother v10 owner. ask away every one of us is on top of most all . or some guys more ontop of this or that. like some are racers, some are mechanics others have the shop manual in their head from memory.
