TIME-SERT® 4412-321 M14 x 1.25 Washer-Seat Spark Plug Thread Repair Kit

Genuine TIME-SERT® 4412-321 M14 x 1.25 spark plug thread repair kit designed for first-time repair of damaged or stripped M14 x 1.25 washer-seat / gasket-seat spark plug threads. The short-tooling system is particularly suited to applications where the spark plug hole is relatively close to the surface and includes the specialist step tap, seat cutter, insert driver, wrench and five genuine TIME-SERT® solid-bushing inserts in 9.4mm and 16.8mm lengths.

The TIME-SERT® system uses thin-wall, flanged solid-bushing inserts for positive placement and mechanical self-locking. The specialist step tap follows the existing M14 x 1.25 spark plug thread, helping maintain alignment as the repair thread is formed. During final installation, the dedicated driver cold-rolls the lower internal threads of the insert, expanding the corresponding external threads into the parent material and mechanically locking the insert securely in position.

Key Features

Follows the Existing Spark Plug Thread
The specialist step tap engages with and follows the existing M14 x 1.25 spark plug thread, helping guide the tooling in alignment while forming the larger thread required for the TIME-SERT® insert.
Short Tooling for Accessible Spark Plug Holes
The 4412-321 uses TIME-SERT® short tooling and is designed for suitable applications where the spark plug is relatively close to the surface.
Solid Bushing Insert System
TIME-SERT® uses precision solid-bushing inserts rather than a conventional wire-coil construction, restoring a complete M14 x 1.25 internal spark plug thread.
Positive Flange Placement
The integrated insert flange provides positive placement against the correctly prepared washer-seat area and prevents the insert from winding further into the repaired hole.
Mechanically Self-Locking
During final installation, the driver cold-rolls the specially designed lower internal threads, expanding the corresponding external threads into the parent material and mechanically locking the insert in position.

Step Tap Follows the Existing Thread

A particularly useful feature of the TIME-SERT® 4412 system is the specialist M14 x 1.25 step tap.

The leading section engages with the remaining original M14 x 1.25 spark plug thread. This allows the existing thread to help guide the step tap as the larger TIME-SERT® receiving thread is formed.

Maintaining correct alignment is especially important during spark plug thread repair because the repaired internal thread needs to remain correctly positioned relative to the spark plug sealing seat.

Washer / Gasket-Seat Spark Plugs

Kit 4412-321 is intended for M14 x 1.25 washer-seat / gasket-seat spark plug applications.

This is important because washer-seat and taper-seat spark plugs use different sealing arrangements. Confirm that your application uses an M14 x 1.25 washer/gasket-seat spark plug before starting the repair.

Two Insert Lengths Included

The 4412-321 kit is supplied with five genuine M14 x 1.25 washer-seat TIME-SERT® inserts in two useful lengths:

  • 9.4mm – TIME-SERT® P/N 44125
  • 16.8mm – TIME-SERT® P/N 44111

Select the appropriate insert length for the spark plug reach and available threaded depth of the specific application.

Short Tooling – Check Access Before Ordering

The 4412-321 is the short-tooling version and is commonly used where the spark plug hole is relatively close to the surface.

For applications where the spark plug sits significantly down inside a deep plug well, TIME-SERT® also manufactures extended-tooling M14 x 1.25 systems. Check the available access and plug-well depth before selecting the repair kit.

Typical Applications

  • Stripped M14 x 1.25 spark plug threads
  • Damaged spark plug holes
  • Washer / gasket-seat spark plugs
  • Automotive cylinder heads
  • Motorcycle cylinder heads
  • Suitable small-engine applications
  • Professional engine and workshop repair
  • First-time M14 x 1.25 thread repairs

Technical Notes

  • Finished repaired thread: M14 x 1.25
  • Designed for washer / gasket-seat spark plugs
  • Short-tooling configuration
  • Step tap follows the existing M14 x 1.25 thread for guidance
  • Includes five solid-bushing inserts
  • Insert lengths supplied: 9.4mm and 16.8mm
  • 9.4mm insert reference: 44125
  • 16.8mm insert reference: 44111
  • Flanged inserts provide positive placement
  • Mechanical locking takes place at the lower section of the insert during installation
Important – Check Thread, Seat Type & Access Before Repair

Please confirm that the original spark plug thread is M14 x 1.25 and that the spark plug uses a washer / gasket seat before purchasing or machining.

This is the short-tooling 4412-321 kit. If the spark plug is positioned deep inside a plug well, an extended-tooling TIME-SERT® system may be required.

Select the appropriate insert length according to the spark plug reach and available threaded depth. Do not assume that one insert length is suitable for every M14 x 1.25 application.

Metal chips created during machining must be controlled carefully. Follow the official TIME-SERT® installation procedure and appropriate engine-repair practices before carrying out an in-situ cylinder-head repair.
Returns & Item Condition

We kindly ask that all returned items are sent back unused, complete and in the same condition as supplied. Returns received used, installed, damaged, incomplete or otherwise in a different condition from when dispatched may be subject to an appropriate deduction from the refund to reflect any reduction in value, where permitted by eBay's policies and applicable consumer law.

Please confirm the thread size, spark plug seat type and tooling access before using the step tap, seat cutter or installation tooling, as used tooling cannot be resold as new.
