Question:
If while backing a spark plug out and it doesnt come out and just turns and turns does that mean the spark plug is stripped? The car has driven 8000 miles after the attempt to remove the spark plugs. A 800 mile mountainous trip fouled at least one spark plug. should I bring it to a shop and just ask for a plug job or will it end up with them trying to stick it for thousands of dollars for new heads?
Answers:

Some shops might offer to attempt a repair with a heli-coil. But depending on badly it's stripped, it may or may not work. If it doesn't work, you need to have the head(s) replaced.We bought a van a couple months ago and...?
not good news, Anytime something with threads just turns and turns and wont come out that usualy means it's striped.Now it could be something else but I would put my money on striped."n" reg merc sprinter at idle oil light flickers but ok when driving?
i would take it to an experienced shop and have them remove the plugs and a good shop nine times out of ten can put a new threded insert in the hole and repair it. it is called heli coil thred repair. hope this helpsthey might be able to retap the bad ones and you might as well tell tehm what happened to get a quote ont he repairs
Go to a shop tell them you've got a stripped plug stuck in one cyl. Tell them you want it removed a helicoil.If you want it real cheap tell them you do not want the head removed. (not the right way to do it but if your not wanting to spend money on the car?)If the shops good they should be able to do th job with out to much going down into the cyl.Cost not sure what they'll charge but I 've done some for about 150.The Right way to do it is to remove the head and helicoil or even have the heads rebuilt Or third get used ones. Depends on what you care to spend. Good luck hope I helped
I got a fix it ticket!? Where do I take my car?
if the plug is just turning and won't come out it sounds like it is stripped but replacing the head is not nessesary because there is a fix for this problem called a helli coil which will restore the threads for the spark plug but i recommend you have a proffesional install it hope this helps and good luck!More Questions & Answers ...
