Anybody ever used a Helicoil on an engine head?
III's car has a spark plug that keeps popping out of a cylinder. Don't really want to take the head off but they have used helicoils for years on quick fixes without removal of the head.

Anybody use any before?

Yes, I have. It worked fine. I used the kind that is enclosed, like it is more of a threaded cylinder on the inside and outside if that makes sense. Then I used some good permatex sealer on the external threads (to the head)

I was thinking the same, I have a mechanic friend I'm going to get to do it. I would but I'm laid up in a Physical Rehab Center, would rather III not try it.

Thanks!

I have used the insert type on Mercury Outboards that have no head to be removed. Coat the tap with grease to catch the cuttings from the tap. Use some hi-temp loctite on the insert. I don't really like the coils although I have used them as well on repairs that are closed at the bottom so the insert can't fall through.

Use the solid steel inserts then...

Bet III has a Ford, right? I had a spark plug blow out of the cylinder in an older (late 90s) Taurus a while back. Looked online and saw that it is quite common. At least for me it was when I started the car, not while driving down the road like a lot of reports I saw.
