Default Need good spark-plug thread repair kit.

Hi all.

I have a blown-out spark-plug hole on my '96 Cobra that was repaired with a helicoil. Looks like that repair is failing.

Saw some posts about a Cal-Van repair kit, but they don't make an insert that works with the 4.6L Cobra. Does anyone know of a high-quality oversized insert like Cal-Van's that will work with the Cobra?

Thanks!

+1 on Timesert. Haven't had to use it, thank God, but have always heard it is the best and should be a permanent repair.
