removed a stuck spark plug. As such the threads got hosed. I can just barely snug it before it slips. Will this fix it or do I need helicoil?

This worked great for my truck, but only my first few threads were garbage. By "snug" do you mean that the spark plug screws completely into the head and then slips past tight while the plug is seated correctly? If that is the case, it may not help much. That being said, chasing the spark plug threads up and out of the head with a bit of grease will keep the metal shavings out of your cylinders and may provide you with a temporary fix and would not hurt to try, but your threads might be too worn to hold for long, if at all. Good luck!

Hi, I purchased 2 of these, the brass being a big factor vs. stainless. Mine too were "stuck" together - and I separated the screw top from the flame regulator as follows: unscrew the cover and the "stuck" regulator as one piece. Then, by lifting the wire "handle", slide the regulator to the side (open position), place the soon-to-be 2 piece assembly on the floor, (concrete garage floor here), and tap the screw cap, which is now exposed after "opening" the flame regulator to the side, with a large round socket - i used a 15/16" spark plug socket. Voila! Once separated they work great. In my opinion this isn't a "lemon" - it's perfect machining and assembly which fit together with almost .005" precision. Hope that helped. As I mentioned, I bought 2 of these and had to separate both of them that way.

This plug has a higher heat range than the factory installed spark plugs.Installing this plug may decrease performance.Check your owners manual for the correct plug.

No, these are 14mm threads, you might try CR9EIX, they have the 10mm thread, and are a good performance plug. However, the spark plug reach is as important as the treads fitting, though is generally .75" or 19mm... If you have any doubts, take the measurement off the old one. Thank you for the question,-Steve

Are you sure the clutch was bad? My clutch was locked up fully with melted belt. Does brush spin ok by hand? If not, replace it. Make sure both belts on clutch spin freely also.

Well.....if you read my review you might want to take extra care when wiring it and make sure you have the the proper inline fuse......Also make sure that you use a real weather sealant on any connection that is exposed ( which are a few ). I also coated my wires with the same sealant. Just to top it off I also put the wires in a flexible split tubing to keep heat, moisture etc....out. I have a Harley that vibrates like a Chinese massage table. So far no problems, but you never know. As far as it coming loose I used loctite.

I used it to avoid buying a new head for my lawnmower after I stripped the sparkplug threads. You do have to tap the hole to a larger size, to accommodate the Helicoil insert, which then allows the sparkplug to seat tightly. You can do this with the head in place, but there is of course risk of metal particles getting into the cylinder, as another user has noted.

I bought this product, but my mechanic installed it on the first (pre-catalytic) / to the engine side. :(So it didn't work, anyhow before trying this I recommend cleaning the sensors with WD-40 With the battery Un-plugged , and after 10 minutes hanging to dry re-screw them back in

The Iridium plugs are supposed to be factory gapped, you might want to check them but you really don't want to be gapping the iridium tipped plugs. I ordered a 4 pack and all were fine. Also, get a long enough extension for your ratchet, the long tube entry to put them in is kind of a help as the spark plug socket will slide in the port and guide the plug right into the thread, helps keep from fouling the iridium tips on the way in.

My o-ring leaked at first, and my dad jut kept taking it off and putting it back on and tightened it until it quit leaking. I thing what happened is that it wasn't going o the threads correctly. I hope this help you!!! Be blessed!!!

I would replace the spark plug to a better quality one like champion or NRG. Mine did the same thing. After swapping out the plug, it never happened again. I guess its just not a high quality plug that's included from the factory. If you have anymore question. Please call Powerland directly. They will be able to help you or send you a new plug.

Brian-- It took a while for me to find where the spark plug is located on this mower. Once I removed the cover I saw the plug and attempted to remove it with my socket wrench. The space available to this is very cramped and I couldn't get my socket around the base of the plug to remove it. After several attempts I finally gave up. I still have the original plug in the engine, and I guess I'll take it to a lawnmower service shop to change it next spring. Sorry I couldn't help you. I have changed dozens of plugs in all types of mowers but I have never seen one this difficult. Good luck. Steve Brian-- It took a while for me to find where the spark plug is located on this mower.

If by screwed up the sparkplug hole you mean you damaged the thread yes this will work. The way it works is by cutting a larger threaded hole in the cylinder head and using the same sparkplug size with the included adapter bushing. Make sure you follow the instructions to the . I fixed my BMW sparkplug in about q minutes ...saved me about 700$ plus a lot of time... good luck!

If the sparkplug is still stuck in the head this tool wont get it out.but if the spark plugs blew out of the headthen this is the tool you will need to use to replace the threads allowing you to replace the plug. I hope this helps you

Spark plugs are appproximately gapped from the plug manufacturer. You should consult the user manual from the ENGINE MANUFACTURER for the correct gap.

I have used this on my Chainsaw to replace the spark plug threads...no problems
