Well it all happed yesterday while I was just taking the car out for a spin. It was running good, until the car ran BAD all of the sudden, to find out the one of the spark plugs shot out of the cylinder head, neadless to say, the threads are stripped out! So I bought a rethreading kit, and I am going to try to rethread the plug hole while the head is on the engine, in the car. I have head that if you use a heavy grease on the tap, it will catch most of the metal, its worth a try. But what kind of grease should I use, and also, what should I put on the insert so that is will stay in the head and not allow any blow by occur, any ideas, loctite, HB Weld, epoxy, what is the best stuff for this application?
