Cross Threaded Spark Plug
Was removing the spark plug, and during installation of new one, the threads got cross threaded. The spark plug is no longer tight, and when tightening, it keeps on turning without wanting to stop even though threads are all the way in. I have two options I can think of on top of my head right now:
a) I can either purchase a heli coil kit. I've never done it before but looks like a simple process according to youtube videos. Will cost around $30 - $40... b) I can purchase a new cylinder head. Will cost $30 - $40.... Purchasing a new cylinder head looks like the best decision, unless there are cheaper options out there. |
