I was wondering if anyone has ever drilled/tapped the heads to use larger plugs. Both my 1973 2.0 heads have one bad plug hole, one was heli-coiled and the other was stripped when I bought the car. I live in the middle of nowhere and don't really want to mail the heads to a unknown machine shop unless I have to. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks
