I don't know if this is where you saw it or not, but I'm most entertained by the fact that there is a Timesert Google ad on the page here.

The ads scan the page for keywords - look in all the other threads.

I know they scan, but this time its not Timesert.

Its "Threaded Inserts" "Helicoil Insert Info" "WTI Wire Thread Inserts" and "Thread Repair"

Doesn't usually turn out working quite that well

yeah but this my block already had a helicoil in it so it's been stripped out twice. I need a shop specifially that uses Time-sert Big-serts. That's the only way to fix it now.

but i'll give them a call today anyways. thanks
