Anybody know what it would take to replace the head of a Taurus with the Vulcan engine?
One of the spark plugs holes stripped out and won't hold a plug.
Can a machine shop put some kind of sleeve in the head?

There is a "heil-a-coil" kit available that any mechanic should be able to install to fix the threading problem.... Although, I don't rember if it can be done "on car" or if it has to be removed.
Which plug hole is it???

Yes Some machine shops will install the heli coil with the head on the engine

We have done it with 100% success. Works great, as long as you can get a drill straight on plug hole.
