Spark Plug Stripped
Spark Plug Stripped
Ok what can you do to a aluminum head? I cant believe I did this but when putting number 5 in it somehow got crooked and screwed up the threads. I got it to line up as close as possible in comparison to the other plugs angle wise but of course it was tight going in. What are my options, can I helicoil it with the head still on or does it have to be jerked off because of shavings? Will this cause any firing issues also?
