©DenLorsTools.com Summary: Information on Time Sert kits and a response included to a recent blog visitor. Time Sert kits are very high quality thread repair kits used primarily on engines. Many engines have aluminum components, like cylinder heads, blocks and oil pans. If the threads are damaged, they are either repaired or the costly component scrapped.
