I was just wondering....if I had a helicoil done, would I need to replace the block? The previous owner had a spark plug flew out so a helicoil was done. Jw because im planning on adding a turbo just for kicks and planning to rebuild everything and this is something I want to replace.

5sfe. The previous owner said the spark plug just flung out of place. He had to do a helicoil to put the spark plug back in place. If its not too deep, id like to replace the head. It bothers me that about 5mm of the spark plug stick out (spark plug wire on this particular spark plug sticks out, sits higher and doesn't close all the way). Id really like to replace and start rebuilding the top end of it.
Btw, this does not affect performance at all. Drives very normal. -------------------- |
