For long reach plugs - use a tool that’s in good condition and make sure the threads are clean and oiled

Heli-Coil Insert 18MM X 13/16
Quality product - works as intended. May look oversized when you get it but it has to be to install, fit, and seat properly.

Heli-Coil Insert 18MM X 13/16
The low reviews on this page come from not knowing how to insert the helicoil. The helicoil looks too big, but with a special tool, it is inserted into the cylinder with a bit of spring tension so that when you pull the tool out it is wedged in there.
Fit perfectly. Understanding how the installation tool works is critical! I used a NAPA Balkamp 18-1.50mm spark plug thread repair kit P/N 770-3066.
Size .5mm off. Material possibly to thick. Could not use. Might work for non-aircraft use.
We ordered an 18 mm helicoil for a Lycoming engine. The Helicoil came in a bag labeled 18 mm but definitely was not 18 mm. it measured more than 20 mm on the ID. We had an additional 2 days down time on this engine while we procured the correct helicoil.
