arrrrgggh spark plug blew out

[njal67]

still sulking after having a few beers tonight to calm down.

Do any of you out there know of a reasonable place in the northwest (uk) that can sort my head out. Number three blew the plug out and there is no thread left:zx11:

[kenney]

You can insert,what is called heli-coil threads,

[Crasher]

Or a Würth Time Sert insert, most engineers can do this head on quite reasonably.

cheers keeny, any idea where I can get them from and how much?

[njal67]

cheers crasher, a neighbour who is a mobile mechanic said it looks like somebody had botched the job after cross threading. I serviced the car just after I got it and had a right old problem getting number three out, but the new plug seemed to go in ok and was tight.

[kenney]

Most workshops have the sets,the threads dont.cost much.Depending on the engine (type)it is a fairly straight forward job,30mins at the most.

cheers Kenney, going to check with my bro law as he buys and sells cars and is does them up. A free feed is better than spending loads having the head rebuilt
