non hyundai question, (but I like hyundaitech's advice!!)

could......

It really is a question you should take to alt.autos.gm. Of course we're all nice guys here, but there really is a newsgroup for this question.

You won't know what's necessary until you get the old plug out. Many GM techs use anti-seize on plugs to keep the threads from being damaged when replacing plugs.

If it's not too bad, some anti-seize and a new plug may work fine. Always replace plugs on a GM engine when cold. Probably due to thermal expansion, most thread problems occur when servicing plugs on a warm engine. Or you may be able to clean up the threads with a tap. Worst case, you'd need to install a helicoil. But tapping or drilling for the helicoil will introduce shavings into the combustion chamber. They'll probably blow out with no damage, but the possibility of worse is always there.

That's where a vac with a narrow nozzle comes in handy.

Thanks (as always) for the advice.

I promise from now on to only post hyundai related questions!!!
