Product Description

Ready to order but need assistance in making sure you have the right tooling for your application? Call 800-734-8665 x251 for application help and getting it on the way. Includes no Sales Tax outside Florida, Free Shipping and Free top tips that's been compiled by our Master Tech over the years which answers many how to questions. Just write "tips" in the comment section when checking out. TIME-SERT 5600 This is the largest outside diameter spark plug thread repair kit available and installs a Big Sert insert inside of a triple oversize insert making this kit the largest Ford spark plug thread repair kit in the world. The outside diameter (O.D.) is .76". Since this kit uses the triple oversize insert which is the biggest repair insert available, it's capable on fixing even the largest spark plug holes. Holes that were damaged more than usual from a previous repair attempt that failed. If you already have the TIME-SERT 5553 an additional add on kit can be purchased to achieve the what this kit does as a "stand alone" kit. However, the 5600 kit cannot install just the samller of the two inserts. If you already have a 5553 purchase the add on kit #5588. *Note the 5600 kit does not install the Big Sert alone. Tooling is provided for using both inserts together. If you would like the capability of installing ONLY the Big Sert (smaller of the two) inserts when the triple oversize is not needed, use the Time Sert 5678. The 5678 is the add on kit for the 5600. Be sure to see the TIME-SERT 5600 demonstration video towards the bottom of this page.

Installed over the fender. The repair is done by installing an insert inside an insert to end up with the triple over-size outside diameter. The original (fully threaded) spark plug can then be installed saving the cost of replacing the cylinder head, gaskets and the labor time associated with R&R of the head. *Note that for first time repairs the 5553 kit is recommended.

See the TIME-SERT products pdf for more information on thread repair kits and inserts. Some are listed for certain applications on cars, trucks and motorcycles. The pdf is a partial application list so feel free to email or call if we can assist with your particular need. We also accept inquiries regarding our daily TIME-SERT specials. Remember TIME-SERT is recommended by leading car manufacturers like the General Motors Corporation. In fact TIME-SERT is GM's only authorized repair for head bolt threads.

*Please note that the progress of the depth that the reamer has reached should be closely monitored. In the video at around 7:08, we mention that the tool will not go but so far because of the collar; While this is true in most cases, we advise to be careful and stop once the counter-bore (the widest portion) of the reamer has been reached. Forcing tool to continue cutting may possibly cause irreversible damage to head. Questions please call us at 800-734-8665 x251.

Glad I found this kit

Pricey kit but works as advertised. My Lincoln was fixed once and it didn't hold. I watched the videos and took my time and it took about an hour. The next one I do will probably be done in 20 minutes.
This Product Was Great!

Posted by Chris B. on 20th May 2016

We had a 2004 Toyota Sequoia come in with a helicoil insert in the spark plug hole that had burned through the side of the insert and the threads of the spark plug. We were worried that we might have to pull the head off to get it fixed. After doing a little studying and speaking to Wise Auto Tools we decided to give it a try. It worked great and now we have the confidence that we can fix most any spark plug insert problem especially the extra big holes. We do own a different brand to fix the smaller holes on the Triton engines which we also bought from Wise Tools. The product is great and the technical advise and service far exceed any type of internet based company. We will continue to look to Wise Tools and Denlors Tools for our specialty tool purchases. They are even very competetive in their pricing. Thanks again.
5553 was gonna be too small

Posted by Ted T on 6th Feb 2016

First looked at the Time Sert 5553 but realized my spark plug hole was going to be a little too big. Used painters tape on a 3/8" extension, slowly building it up until the size of the hole was reached. Measured it with a digital caliper at .67". The 5600 works on holes up to almost 3/4" so it was a no brainer. Great kit. Was done with the repair in about an hour! Would have given this kit a 5 star but you can't use it to install "just" the smaller of the two inserts without the 5678 add on kit. Also should come with the 389-4000 valve closed checker. Would like to be able to install the smaller one by itself if I ever have another spark plug blow out.
Fixed 2nd time blowout on 2002 F150 5.4

Posted by Melvin S on 21st Jan 2016

Used a parts store sav-a-thread kit and that blew out. Took it to a shop and they fixed it. Not sure what they used but that blew out. Researched on the interweb and found the 5600 last time kit. Easy to use and great quality repair. Wished I would've found timesert before settling for the parts store crap!
A Tool That Work's - Ford E150

Posted by Jimmy H on 19th Oct 2015

My shop had an 02 Ford E-150 Van with a blown out plug on cyl. #5. Put a repair kit made by Napa and it came out also. I did my homework about this issue and found this kit and ordered it. When we got it into the shop I had my Shop's Top Tech look it over then we installed the inserts from Time-Sert 5600 thread repair kit and my customer is a Happy Camper. And so is my shop Husk & Son Complete Car Care Evansville, IN 47714.
What a great kit!

Posted by George D on 13th Oct 2015

Bought this like others to fix a spark plug hole that was repaired before by some other kit. This kit #5600 worked great. You can really sense the quality of the tools when you're using it. Thanks!

A shop repaired one spark plug hole for me and charged $700. They said removal of the intake was necessary. It blew out after 2 months. I found The Time Sert 5600 online. It worked great. It was for the #5 cylinder. Great laminated instructions. This was on a 2008 E350 van. I also have 2004 E250 van and it blew #3 out a week after purchasing the 5600. Again, it worked great but sure is a bear working on vans I would highly recommend this kit to anyone, the quality of the kit is great. Thanks again, also customer service is A+

Excellent product, step by step instructions. Repaired what everyone said that I needed a new head.
Great product, easy to use, fantastic customer service

Posted by John M. on 26th Sep 2015

I purchased the 5600 hoping I would be able to salvage a blown Ford Triton V-10 spark plug hole that I had previously repaired with a Napa Sav-A-Thread. Wish now that I had never seen the cheapo Napa insert! Take the time to repair this Ford created problem right the first time with Time Sert inserts. With the quality Time Sert tools, you can easily do this repair without removing the head, and solve this Ford created problem permanently. Easy to work with, high quality tools, a little pricey, but not nearly as much time and money as replacing the heads... and I should know... When Napa insert let loose, it allowed compression to blow through between the insert threads and the head, eroding the head in one spot so badly that, unfortunately, even the Triple Oversized insert couldn't repair it. Now I have no choice but to replace the head. That is not the norm though, typically. Mine was that rare exception that just went too far south... in fact, Dennis @ Wise Tools said he had never yet seen one that it couldn't repair. But if I had put in a Time Sert right from the start, it never would have failed again. Inspection camera I bought to help do the repair revealed the excessive damage after I had already purchased the 5600 kit. Highly recommend having one of those too, even just to make sure you get all the debris out of the cylinder.

The Time Sert inserts bottom inside threads get cold rolled AFTER it is set in place full depth in the hole, which expands the bottom end of the insert out tightly against the head, sealing the two together so it can't leak compression and it can't break loose. By far the BEST thread repair available. The 389-4000 Valve Closed Detector is a great tool too... saves you having to take the valve cover off to see if the valves are fully closed.

Wise Tools provided fantastic customer support, and I very highly recommend both them and the Time Sert inserts. Quality all the way around, and the videos that Dennis has put up are great too! 10 of 10 stars on all counts!
