Blew out spark plug sleeve
Hi Everyone,
My car started sounding like a John Deer tractor as I pulled into the garage the other day. I opened the hood and there was a spark plug with a small threaded sleeve around it laying on top of the valve cover. Is there a previous post that anyone knows about that talks about replacing this - do I have to pull the head, special tools... any advice ? thanks hawki (JD) |
It sounds like someone stripped the head and installed a helicoil thread repair kit
|
Can a repair be made "after" a helicoil repair has failed without pulling the head?
|
You MIGHT be able to get an oversized one take the plug with sleeve into an autoparts store and see if they have a kit /bigger then the one currently the kit includes a tap kit and a threading tool to install the coil
I've heard it done with head on |
Thanks I will look around and see. Others have mentioned something called a time sert. Looks to be like $300 for the kit... wow. But they say it does a better repair especially when a helicoil repair has failed. thanks again for the response.
