You get instructions in the Timesert kits, but I haven't seen a video like the one above yet.

Fairly neat video...it's OK, but nothing special. Doesn't really show anything. I don't like the air ratchet. I know people do it that way, but I don't. Cutting into the head like that, I like to feel what's going on. One other tip not shown in the video is coating each cutting tool with liberal amounts of axle grease. I've never had to vacuum out a cylinder head.

 

Hux video shows grease, -and the chips stuck to it.

I know what your saying about feeling it, but Iduno, I haven't done it yet, it might be easier with the air ratchet doing the back 4. What do you think ? Can you control movement, pressure and/or stability while working the ratchet by hand easier in the back ?

 

Obviously, those back ones are tougher to clear a path to, but the thing about this tool is if you can get a ratchet in there to remove a plug, you can get this tool in there and use it. Air ratchets are nice, don't get me wrong, but IMHO this just ain't the place for it. These heads are so soft, and those cutting tools in the kit are so efficient, with an air ratchet if you had something wrong it's just gonnna keep on cutting...unless you have one that you can really turn down the torque on. I personally just like to feel what I'm doing. This kit is so user friendly that yes, you can control everything even by hand in those back plug holes. Just can't see anything

I must have missed the grease on the video.

 

Yea, hard to get lined up in the back since you can't line yourself up with it. That's where you have to rely on feel, -to get that angle right and centered.

I may just pull the motor if I have to do it some day, - since it's cake and if I had the time. I know I wouldn't pull the heads, ever, -unless absolutely necessary. That's just me, I like workin on the motor when it's on the stand.

If I needed the truck back in action fast, I'd do an in vehicle repair for sure, wouldn't think twice.
