Stripped the spark plug hole... - Land Rovers Only

RageRover · 02-13-2006, 05:01 PM

The final day of moving off campus, my RRC wouldn't start and only fire on some cylinders. I puller one spark plug out and it was fouled like no tomorrow! So I simply said screw it I'll replace em' all. As I was doing the second plug it put up a fight coming out. Putting the new one in killed me. As it went in it stripped and wouldn't in fully go in. I decided that i would save myself having to replace the whole damn head by trying this "Spark Plug Thread Repair Kit". It worked and I was on my way. Have any of you have something like this happen to them?

This is the first time I've ever stripped any spark plug hole ever! Wierd thing is, it's on my Rover. As long as the RRC's running fine and no damage was done, I'me happy!
