Morning all

Other day, get a call from frantic wife - my car is making this horrible banging noise!

Turns out, upon some quick inspection - a spark plug blew out of the head.

Got to garage, starting investigating - someone looks to have done a shoddy repair of stripped threads on the #5 plug (Middle plug of left/exhaust side head).

I was able to run a tap and put in the solid heli-coil set, let it cure overnight.

Started up, everything smooth, no issues.


Called today, making a light popping noise and missing randomly - thinking the helicoil failed. Rather than keep trying to patch, going to drop a new head on.

Can't find a write up - how's the left head? Plenty of room to work it would seem...
