I've tried both the Dorman,and Lisle inserts with no success. Will I be able to use this insert after blowing out the Lisle insert?

Not sure, this was my 1st one and it worked great. Try calling the maker of the kit.

I don't know the type you have used. But I know of ones to not work. This CalVan set has worked and is still working. You will need to verify size of plug hole you are working with. Since you may have already made it larger.

I've had to do two different helicoil types besides all the stock ones with no problem. The calvan is a much larger and thicker insert. Just make sure you follow the instructions to the tee.

Just did. You will need to apply some pressure to get them inserted. Just please be sure to align them properly before inserting.

The original old Broan that I had in place was really, firmly, in place and I was going to have to damage the ceiling to remove the old housing to replace in its entirety... Solution: I was able to successfully exchange the 'guts' alone; putting the new guts into the old housing (slight 'modification' re the plug's length ... no big deal). Worked like a charm for me as I like a bit of a challenge (but not too much!!). Just check housing dimensions prior to ordering is all I can suggest. Best of luck to you.

Yes, it installs just like any other insert. Bear in mind, you may not be able to tighten the accessory tips as tight with only hand tightening. Also, some users say they get a slight wobble effect. Some say they have to tighten with pliers which defeats the purpose of quick change. For others it works fine.

It has been a couple of years since I put mine in. I WAS able to find info at Sloan online that confirmed that the one I bought, perhaps this one, was an "official" replacement for the one I had to take out. Investigate at Sloan website. Check it carefully, and even email them if possible for confirmation.

I would just contact the vendor/manufacturer- KONG. I am sure they can send a replacement insert.

Yes, if you buy a dorman. you always from that point, have to use a dorman gasket. Any other type will not work and dorman is hard to find and tend to leak.

Well you will break the plugs, what I find is this tool help to loosing the plugs, after you loosing them try to soak them overnight. Soaking works sometime. Trust me you will break some plugs, this is where you need the lisle spark plug extractor also. And please be very patient (do not use impact), I tried and this method almost cause me big money. Good luck ps I changed my plugs at 181km, they were do this job was a three year put off, but I got it done thank god!!!.

Did not help me at all - I had to return my inserts. But the inserts bought from gravity defyer seem to be the best so far. I agree with Rams1526, will not cure the issue. You can try Sombra pain relieving gel for some additional relief.

IDK, but ask/email the vendor, or call your NAPA store, they might know. Our local NAPA does sell some Dorman aftermarket parts, (give them the Dorman #) to see if they can cross reference it, to let you know. Hope that helps.

I have this problem, too. The nut doesn't seem to be threaded all the way through, and so can only screw so far onto the long allen bolt - leaving the flanges hanging loose. Not obvious what to do.

I tried to answer this question for you but its different per application!! dormanproducts.com is the website to double check with look up per your application. Hope this helps you!!

Yep. Just take out the insert to handle the bigger dies. Remember to use a little blue Loctite when you reinsert the bushing, it has a tendency to work loose.

If you already have the pilot hole drilled, then what is the hesitation about driving the lag bolt in? It will either go or it won't. If it only goes part way before the drill stops, then you can always finish driving it in with a box end wrench or socket wrench or drill the pilot hole to 7/16" and try again. This is not rocket science at this point. I'm done.

no they are steel inserts ,the reason the plugs pop out is because of the aluminum and improper torque(from what ive read).,we have a lock n stitch at work which is fords go to tool for this job,the lisle has less steps ,and may be more crude than l/s ,however plug still in.hope this helps.look directions up on line as the kit comes with none,i recommed a several step driving and removing the cutting tool for chip removal and make sure intake valve is in closed position or the tool WILL hit the intake valve! best of luck....NLB

None through amazon or maybe 30 days, dorman honors the lifetime warranty but you have to send the old one in for inspection and wait for a new one. You must keep the original receipt.
