So i blew a plug out of the head yesterday and im trying to find a helicoil kit to fix it. Does anyone know where i can buy one? I've checked sears, autozone, home depot, lowes and noone has it. I don't really feel like waiting ordering it online. Are there any special stores i could look at?

 

Where in CT are you from? You can try Excelerate Performance Shop in Branford. They have a really cool setup. Kind of reminds me of a Fast and Furious type shop....I think they will be able to help you fast.

 

Im in meriden, thats not too bad maybe ill give them a call. Where you from?

 

I'm from Trumbull/Bridgeport area...nice to see someone else from CT on here! Sorry to hear about your Stang man, Call them up at Excelerate Performance, I've bought quite a few things from them. If they don't have it in stock, they will get it quick. Probably your best bet vs. waiting 10-14 days or so from ordering online.

 

NO helicoil.. use a Timesert. Helicoiles are a POS fix.

 

Why is that?

 

Because Helicoiles are not a permanent fix like timserts are. Helicoiles can spit out just like the spark plug did.

 

if you do put some red loctite in the helicoil before you put it in

 

finally found em at a local auto shop. Put red loctite on it and so far so good.

 

you find them at Excelerate Performance??
