Done a thousand air-cooled Porsche-VW broken studs in my life. Coils are junk, don't hold up at all. Timeserts are the solution.

Keep the updates coming!

Wow, that looks good are they available in any retail stores? I really worked hard to get the coils well seated. I looked all over for a converter for the taps to connect to a ratchet but no luck. You cant cut thread as well as I'd like to do to this restriction. I think I'll try them and if there is an exhaust leak, I'll just pull it back apart and start from zero, that is unless I can buy these today and the extension.

Thanks, oh and I never needed the torch, Sears Cobalt bits, worked like a charm. It's ready for a test install.
