Took the car out yesterday, had a nice spirted cruise. On the way home got off the freeway on my favorite cloverleaf off-ramp, downshifted into 3rd was about 1/2 way around when I heard a loud pop from the engine compartment, sounded like I blew a exhaust gasket but louder. Pulled over to take a look, laying on top of engine tin was my number 1 spark plug (still connected to the wire). Let it cool off and went to insert back into #1 hole. No luck the threads are striped (checked the plug and the threads are fine)
Can I heli-coil new thread insert. Help!!!!! |
