Like the title says, I need help. I am doing a spark plug change before I move my sister to Dallas and the timesert I had on the #3 cylinder came out with the spark plug. It feels like the insert will catch for 2-3 turns and then it goes loose, this can be done repeatedly and no pieces of metal are coming out when i pull the plug/insert back out. Any help would be appreciated!
 
are you sure its a (time sert)? if its not it could be a smaller dia. 1 hen just go to a size bigger..Time sert makes an over size insert...good luck...JL
 
Used some red thread locker and it held the timesert in place and the plug was able to be removed.
