| | Threaded inserts of various types are used to restore stripped or worn threads in a part, or to provide added strength to tapped threads in light materials. The inserts consist of threaded bushings, some types of which are inserted in specially tapped holes, and others of which are self-tapping. Specific types are used in different applications on engine parts to take advantage of particular features such as strength or type of material, ease of application, or other characteristics. The type to be used in a particular application is designated in the Engine/Shop Manual. |
