    Blew out the spark plug

    Hey everyone,

    Buddy with a MM just blew a spark plug out of the head. I know there was an issue with early heads only having 3 or 4 threads for the plugs. I searched for helicoil but nothing came up. Was this a recall or warranty?

    How are others dealing with this other than helicoli? Can someone point me to a thread?

    Thanks!
