    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Looking for a timesert spark plug kit in Eastern Mass.

If anyone has a kit they can lend or sell me in eastern Mass. I would be much obliged. This is for NGK B8SE plugs (14x1.25mm) with 5/8" length.
 
If you contact the company directly they may send you the insert for nothing. I did this a while back after talking to one of there local dealers advised me to do it as he did not have the size I needed on the shelf. If they will do it for you then all you need is the drill bit to enlarge the hole & the tap that matches the insert. I was able to find their contact info on the web by doing a search for their business.
 
There's the drill, the tap and also the tool which machines some material off to make a seat for the insert. The kit seams to go for $130 or more. If someone in the area wants to help me out, I have the head off already and I will bring your choice of brew.
 
In the V W repair business we found the solid inserts caused the plugs to run hotter. Apparently the sreel insert does not conduct heat as well as the aluminum. We found the HELICOIL to be better in this regard. There is a bit more diffuculty in installation but any tool truck ( SNAP-ON etc. ) should have the tools. Also most parts stores carry them.
