Tapered seat spark plug thread repair..
6.0 LS head. Threads stripped in one hole. Head is off. What's the best way to repair? Who has the best insert that will stay in the head. Thanks

Get the solid type that can be had from Summit or Jegs..

Timesert makes the best kit in my opinion. They have inserts for the taper seat plugs.
Where are you located ? Might be easier to see if your machine shop has the kit and let them do it. The kit is kind of expensive for a one time deal.

Really the only way to go for repairing spark plug holes and exhaust manifold mounting holes just to name a couple of common repairs on those heads.BillK wrote: ↑Fri Jan 14, 2022 12:11 pm Timesert makes the best kit in my opinion. They have inserts for the taper seat plugs.

The kits are a bit spendy with the extra tooling in the kits But its a much nicer way to get them flush to a surface.
But the inserts themselves are available in bulk paks that seem to be better priced if you use them a lot.
