Ugh,
Looks like I may need to do a spark plug thread repair kit now. Searched and didn't find anything. Is this what I'll need? Thanks in advance.

This is the right kit just for anyone else that needs one.

 

Cool. Did you get it fixed?

 

Unfortunately needed a break. Just did the timing cover/water pump/oil pan job this past weekend. It'll be done tomorrow night.

 

If you have never done this before, make sure you pack grease into the tap to reduce the chance of getting chips into the cylinder. Take it slow.

 

Did use grease. I removed the SAI aluminum pipe/solenoild/rubber hose assembly to gain better access. Wish they weren't there but other than that everything went well.

 

Hi there. I wanted to ask about your tapping the spark plug thread. I bought the kit you recommended. When I put the threding tool in, it goes in and then just spins when it gets to the thicker thread. Any suggestions?

 

Nevermind I got it. I didnt realize the second stage shaves to get in. First time using this type of tap. I'm a little scared of this last step of hitting it with a hammer.
