Spark Plug

[mandoz85]

I have a cross threaded spark plug hole. And it is causing my third sparkplug not to go all the way in. Now i have really bad idle. I there any way to fix the spark plug thread or will i have to get a new head.

I have a SOHC if that makes a ifference.Thanks

that really sucks. i dont thin there are any taps that can go that deep. maybe if the head was pulled it could be retapped from the combustion chamber.

there is. iirc, i bought mine from napa. just make sure to use a strong shop vac to remove any excess shavings that may fall in the combustion chamber.

you can get a tap and helicoil kit to repair. I have various heads with this done works well

Thank you, i went to napa and they have a 14mm and a 18mm thread chaser, which one would fit. i think it is the 14mm one.Thanks

def not the 18mm. 14 seems about right im jsut tryin to think of it in my head. i know the spark plug is 16mm
