Time-sert 5553
Ok guys I'm reaching out to you all for help here. A few weeks ago I blew out a spark plug and coil. I am in need of the repair kit called Time-sert #5553.
I did find a company that sells it but they are in back order, And Honestly $400 for a tool I would use once is a bit high for me at this time. Does anyone know of someone that would have this kit for alot less?

If it were me, I'd just pick up a couple of rebuilt heads and change both of them. That way for about $500-$600 you'd have a valve job and threaded inserts in all of the spark plug holes. Never have to worry about blowing out another plug again. Plus, I'm not a big fan of repairing a spark plug hole with the head still on the engine. It only take a couple of metal chips getting left behind to trash your cylinder. If that happens, it will cost a lot more to repair the engine than those two rebuilt heads do.
