Speaking of Heli-Coil stainless steel spark plug inserts: On 4 Jan 2002, at 8:23, matthew jones wrote: > I can't remember, but is stainless magnetic?

I don't know which the Heli- coil inserts are, but I can check. Okay, I just checked some 8mm inserts. I don't have any SP Helicoils, but I assume they are all the same alloy. The ones I have are slightly magnetic, so this might work. If the tang has fallen to the bottom of the cylinder it would be challenging to get a magnet to it and back, but it would still be less work than pulling the engine. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
