stripped spark plug

change my plugs and wires on my 3400 impala,the plug in the middle front is stripped a little,it goes tight but still spins around not going completely tight like the other plugs ,the car is running fine but is there a quick fix to make it seat tighter,what about lock tight on the threads,the plug with the wire off is not that loose that you can wiggle it but was wondering if anyone knew of a quick fix instead of having to tap it or can you buy something to go over the plug then screw it back in,thanks

Re: stripped spark plug

Did you remove the plugs, when the heads were hot?

Re: stripped spark plug

You are probably looking at a thread repair very soon. It's no big deal at all with the right kit.
