Spark plug shot out...

The other night I was stopped at a traffic light when I heard a very loud bang. Come to find out the next morning that a spark plug was shot out of it's seating. The threads were fine, so I figured that it just vibrated free - so I bought a new one and tried to screw it in - no joy, it just spins free.



Any suggestions?


A fix with a 'helicoil' Can be done in 15 minutes or so. Just ask your local dealer. Good luck, Erik-Jan.

Thanks! That worked like a champ!

Your welcome, Kind regards, Erik-Jan.
