The Westy puked a plug and I tried JB Weld to hold it in but that didn't work....Just need to drive it back to the shop across the lake of course (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)
PO had stripped the plug and I knew it wasnt the best, got new heads and all ready to go in. Any ideas???? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/WTF.gif) |

I'd go with the plug insert. You've got to tap the spark plug hole. You put grease on the cutters to catch the metal shavings. Then you thread the insert and smack it with the tool to lock it in place. Works pretty good and should hold for a long time. Stay away from Champion spark plugs, and always put a wee bit of anti seize on the spark plug threads. Jake says milk of magnesia works good for this too.
