G'day all,

So toyota screwed up with the Gen 2 3SGTE exhaust studs.... its fairly common for the studs to come out.

which mine has done previously judging by the helicoil that is already installed in the head.

Does anyone have a Time Sert kit??

ok.... a bit of help for people....

Spammed Tim! hahaha nah ill ask at repco for you tomorrow if you would like? i should be able to stop on by there as it looks like i gotta buy a bleed tap now... OMG! the possibilities for modifications now im not N/A anymore! booooooooost!!!!11!!!!!eleven!

haha. well i'm gonna ask at NT fasteners on Monday as well... dont like my chances though...

www.timesert.com shows only two distributors in Australia.... in Sydney and Melbourne

nt fastners should have what you need tim

Atom supplies in winnellie will have them

excellent. more places to try.

thanks for that. will scout around tomorrow.

if u cant find them man. at work we sell key-serts
its like a heli coil except there is little keyways that hold the coil into the old fucked thread
somethin like that havent had a good look at em really

Thanks Danny.

I went to Atom supplies and asked about the Time-serts. they havent got them, but they do have helicoils and keyserts
I ended up repairing the helicoil that was in it already... got it threading properly and the stud is firmly in there now. so i have no need for the kit. but i have no doubt that myself, or someone i know, will need them in the future... so its good to know where to source these things from.

Keysert
