If its partially stripped and you run a chaser down it you will run the risk of blowing the plug out of the cylinder. I would remove the head and do it right.

So YOUR the bastard! jk Yes you can use a heilicoil for your spark plug, ive used them before they work great, U need to take the head off, but really its not that hard.

heli coil works fine on plug holes i`ve had two different head that has heli coil on them.

chaser should work just fine.

Ha ha ha that car had more problems than a stripped spark plug ;)

On topic:


Because the insert provides an enlarged bearing area, the restored fastening is stronger than the original. It is also more durable, since the stainless steel thread is generally tougher than the original material. Precision inserts are corrosion resistant and their 22-microinch or better surface finish provides a smooth-running, wear-resistant fastening.
