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?
