So i bought a 97 mark 8 and never thought to check if all the plugs were tight. They wearnt and I blew a plug out and it stripped all the threads out of the head I tried tapping it out and had no luck. Do they sell a kit besides a helli coil to repair it maybe something like a sleeve for it? I really don't want to pull the head So if you have any ideas please let me know thank you
