I have one spark plug that is crossthreaded. I need to know if I am up @%$ creek.
Or is there any thing I can do. |

Re: 90' V6 Camry spark plug crossthreaded
It can be fixed. You're not completely screwed yet. -- Notice I said yet though. You'll either need to buy a tap and die set, or find someone who has one. These tools are made specifically to clean and rethread a stripped or crossthreaded hole. If this doesn't fix your problem, then you will need to have the block taken to a machine shop.

Oops! My bad. Didn't mean to cause any confusion there. I meant head. Thanks for the correction Brian!

I think you were remembering the good old days when engines were engines and men were glad of it (or something like that). Last edited by Brian R.; 04-01-2004 at 08:50 AM. |

Yeah, brain fart. I've been getting those way too much here lately.
