Good quality kit to tap and replace head bolts in my Son’s 2003 Toyota Highlander. We taped and replaced all 10 bolts to ensure they were all treated the same to ensure reliance of every bolt. Only a few bolts had pulled out of the head, but we wanted to ensure they were all going to be equally reliable. It was quite simple to place the plate and set the bolts to keep the guide in place while drilling the holes. We used WD40 to lube for drilling out the holes and air to clean out after drilling. The inserts went in real nice and snugged in. Follow the directions step by step and it will go smooth and take no time to finish.

We purchased this kit and it did the job! Very satisfied with the outcome, but the kit is a little pricey. We ran into one issue during this process. We drilled and tapped all 10 holes, as Timesert suggested, and when we tightened the head down according to specs the 9th hole STRIPPED AGAIN! It pulled the threads in the block as well as the insert completely out. I contacted Timesert to see if there was a solution, and there was! If you ever run into this issue, they sell what they call a BIG SERT add on kit. They supply you with a slightly larger reamer, tap and guide bushing. The new insert is double the thickness and allows you to use the same size head bolt to complete your repair. We are selling both kits if anyone is interested: 636-383-1454.For those who have not attempted this before, it is important to make sure you chip away at the block a little at a time. Literally inch by inch, and make sure to clear the shavings completely or you risk dulling the reamer. Don't just plow through it. This goes for the tapping process as well. It goes a lot smoother when you seal off the head using some plastic and some tape to avoid the metal shavings ending up everywhere on your engine.

I used kit to retread one stripped bolt in head of camry. I found it easy and quick. The only negative is the instructions could have been more clear. As the headbolt for the camry were long, I had to remove the drill bushing for drilling the final 1/3 the drilling out the opening for the insert and for tapping the treads. I used the guide for the first 2/3 of both steps. The kit came complete with 3 sets of bolts. The camry required use of the longest of the 3 sets.

Great product! Saved me a bunch of money when the threads pulled out of the block on my wife 2003 Camry. Easy to understand directions. Kit is well made. Purchased back in March of 2016. Car has been working great for two years now.

This product performed exactly as advertised. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. The process was easy do, and the inserts went in and locked at the correct depth. The new head bolts go in without any of the slop that the original factory threads had and went to the proper depth. I also feel that it is priced fairly for the precision set of tools that it is. Every piece appeared well made and finished and worked without any binding or chatter when used as directed. This kit will have saved me several thousand dollars over the price of having the job done at a shop and will allow me to put my fourth Toyota engine back on the road.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004P5W81A/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0

A little pricey but work great on 2002 Camry 2.4 4 cylinder engine. Just remember to measure twice and "cut" once. Definitely do not want to mess up when driilling into the block.

Way to expensive but I hate to say it was worth the money. Made fast work of the head bolt holes. Came with everything needed except the drill. Took less the two hours to fix the center 6 holes and the threads hold strong.
