Hey there,
I'm just completing a rebuild on my BMW 2001 330i engine, despite taking every precaution, a couple of the head bolts stripped as I was torquing them down. The build is on hold until I get these sorted. After considerable research on the net, it appears that Time-Serts are the way to go. A new set, including the alignment plate, costs over $1,000. That's daylight robbery!
Does anyone have a used Time-Sert set or plate I could buy/borrow to rethread a couple of head bolts? The set part number is:
Time-Sert 1090 M10 x 1.5 BMW 3 & 5 Series Head Bolt Thread Kit with Plate.

Much appreciated.
