The Time Sert works better for replacing spark plug threads in the Triton 5.4 than a Helicoil. For most applications the Helicoil works great. Add heat and pressure then the Time Sert is what you want to use.

I have a buddy with a Lightening that blew a few plugs. The Helicoil repairs ended up blowing again. The Time Sert fixed the problem. He ended up pulling the heads, replacing one, and Time Serted every plug. BTW: this is not a standard Lightening as it is pushing just over 500 HP.
