Free Shipping. The TIME-SERT 2200 head bolt thread repair kit is a universal head bolt thread kit that can be used on a variety of automobile engines that use the very common metric size 11 millimeter by 1.5 millimeter bolt size. This is for a "first time" repair which means it has never had a repair insert of any kind installed previously. For second time repairs use a Big Sert kit which has the letters BS following the numeric kit number. We have a partial application list below. The 2200 is considered a "universal" kit because the tooling has an adjustable stop that can be adjusted to work on holes of different depths. Although, it works on other engines, the 2200 kit is mostly used for Toyota engines. There's is even a TSB out saying that this kit is what's recommended to repair the three or four middle bolts on the backside of the head of many Toyota engines. We recommend installing all ten inserts on Toyota's while the head is off to eliminate any pulled threads when installing the head bolts and torqueing to the manufacturers' specifications (torque specs). That also also eliminates weak links that the remaining aluminum threads would end up being, that could possibly fail shortly after the car is back on the road. Therefore it's recommended to upgrade to the much stronger tensile strength steel, bushing type inserts (part number 11155) that are included in the Time-Sert 2200 head bolt thread repair kit. TIME-SERT is recommended by leading automobile manufacturers. See our pictures for measurements of tooling in SAE (inches) and in metric (millimeters). TIME-SERT 2200 FAQ's.

Question - On the holes that have line-up dowels. Do you have to replace the dowels? Will the hole be too large after reaming?

Answer - No. The tooling will not disturb the original dowel hole. Dowels have to be removed before you can drill the hole that has a dowel in it. The dowel will go back in as long as it was not damaged when it was removed.

See our dowel removal tool CAL95400.

Workaround without the special tool below. Caution: Do not mar the surface of the block!

Place a suitable bolt that will fit closely into Dowel so that it will not crush. Use a pair of vise grips to hold on the "outside" of the dowel. Slowly work the dowel back and forth as you use slight pressure under the vise grip with a screw driver to give up lift. Use care not to scratch the top of block in the process. Sometimes head alignment dowels will come out easy and sometimes hard depending on tolerances of the block, how much the dowel gets crushed in the process, or rust, etc.

See the pdf instructions for details.
