2. After successfully instaling a Time Sert(tm) steel insert to replace stripped threads on my oil drain plug, the next oil draining the threaded piece and drain plug came out together
This should have never happened. Did you use Time-Sert's kit? The bottom threads will lock it into place without the use of loctite. Did you follow the direstions on step 5 of their instructions?? Bill |
