Stripped Thread Repair - Time-Serts BETTER than Heli Coils! - LS Exhaust Thread Repair!

Is helicoil stronger than original threads?

However, there are some uses for thin walled thread inserts where we would not recommend helicoil type inserts but Time-Serts. If a thread is "static" i.e. not likely to be done up and undone more than a few times in its lifetime, we would always say a helicoil type thread is the strongest option.
