[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 161103, member: 3278"] It's an easy, do-it-yourself, repair. Best way is to remove the head as has been mentioned earlier. No need to look for a replacement head though unless the head is damaged beyond the plug threads. NAPA does have the correct "Non-Heli coil" type of insert that you drill and insert than tap to seat. They hold incredibly well and are extremaly easy to use. I use probably one per year on the engines I see. Have picked up a couple of very good engines in the last few years that have had this simple issue. [/QUOTE]
