<VV> [fastvair] Repair to engine oil pan bolt holes

[Harry Yarnell (Verizon)]

I've used Timeserts in corvairs before, and if you don't use some
thread-locker, they had a tendancy to back out when the fastener was
loosened.
Never had an issue with helicoils.YMMV
I've used Timeserts in Cadillac Northstars for the headbolt repair (high
torque), and they've worked perfectly...but with thread-locker.

I will not argue which is best, as I have not used Timeserts, but...

All you need for Helicoils is the right drill, tap and installation tool.

Unless you count breaking off the tab when finished.

Recommend these over Helicoils.
