Get with a good A&P that has put in inserts (most all of the older guys willhave done it). Got to make sure the hole is clean and clear of debris.It's not a huge job, but you want to make sure there isn't anything still inthe cylinder to cause damage and that the cylinder is in good shape. See ifhe will let you watch (better yet, help) him do the job. It isn't a job youwant to do yourself (at least not the first time). When you put the plugsback, get a tube of anti-seize and have him show you how to put it on thethreads. It's IMPORTANT you NOT get in near the tip! It will really screwup the ignition. If you put it on the threads right, you will never need toreplace the inserts again.Hank J----- Original Message -----

Manual doesn't say. The insert is brass. From what others have said, theyare probably brass as well. The insert for the A-65, C-75 or C-85 is #2002and are available in oversize of 0.003, 0.006, 0.009 in case your cylinderthreads are loose.The pin # is 22256 but one could make one out of 1/8" brazing rod. Theironly function is to prevent the insert from rotating and to shear if theinsert is stuck to the plug. It is a good idea to always use anti-seize.Cy Galley - Bellanca Champion ClubNewsletter Editor & EAA TCwww.bellanca-championclub.comActively supporting Aeroncas every dayQuarterly newsletters on timeReasonable document reprints1-518-731-6800----- Original Message -----

There is special antisieze that is used on spark plug threads that is soldby champion. Aircraft Spruce has it. This antisieze will not screw up theelectordes on the plugs.Chris Bobka----- Original Message -----

I need to check that out. The stuff my IA gave me shorts out the plug ifyou get it on there so I am always very careful to get it on the threadsonly. If you are careful I know it works, I even use it on my cars plugsand lug nuts and nothing has ever frozen again. I know that if you get iton your pants you may as well throw them away and NEVER put them in thewasher. You end up with little silver streaks on all the cloths that are inwith them (the pants you were trying to get clean, never do either). I'llcheck ASS and try theirs.Hank J----- Original Message -----
