The Time Sert J-42385-300 is the best repair for fixing M10x1.5 threads on Northstar engines for main bearing cap bolts.

What makes the Time Sert J-42385-300 better than a Helicoil or other competitive brand? Simple, the Time Sert thread repair system is made in the USA, uses a solid bushing type insert and locks in place from the bottom instead of the top or by spring action. Cadillac鈥檚 like many other cars today use aluminum for their blocks. While this is a great way to reduce the over-all weight of a car, the aluminum threads which are under a lot of stress from torque, heat and time under load, simply are not as strong as carbon steel, Time Sert uses carbon steel inserts which are much stronger than the original aluminum threads ever were. We don鈥檛 think about the engineering marvel that Time Sert applies to every kit we sell. For instance, when GM needed a repair for these and other threads on the Cadillac Northstar their engineers worked side by side with Time Fastener to develop the best possible repair. This cannot be said for any other thread repair company.

The Time Sert J-42385-300 comes in a nice case with laminated instructions. You know the type of instructions that you can actually touch with dirty hands and not get them greasy. More importantly, the components are all engineered and manufactured in the USA, right in Reno Nevada.

The alignment bracket, or fixture as the manufacturer calls it is bolted to the block and used with the line up pin and bushing to insure proper drilling and tapping which is crucial for any engine with close tolerances. If the bolt threads are installed crooked... it鈥檚 a ticking time bomb. Time Sert takes the possibility of doing this incorrectly out of the equation.
