So today i went to change the plugs and maybe give the old ST some more life and i found a terrible surprise. A previous owner welded the plug in place, i would say the bead is about 3/8" long. I guess they stripped the threads and were too lazy to put in a Heli-Coil. i tried to take a picture, but the flash didnt go in the deep hole. I cant change the plug obviously, i guess wait for the plug to go bad and then worry about it. So is the head salvageable or would i need a new one after the plug goes?

well if its not welded idk what else it would be b/c there is solid metal on the base of the plug and on the head. i'll try again to take another pic. i'm kinda near allentown and reading. that would be great if you could find one, we could meet somewhere and you could see the monstrosity and i could help fix it.
bitter- i'm not making this up so idk what else it would be if thats not welded, i mean it is like 8 inches down a really small hole so i can see it that well but its solid and metallic for sure |
