[Chevelle-list] Off List - Stripped Spark Plug

[Dennis.McGillis at mcgilliscompany.com]

My son's 2002 Expedition just spit out a spark plug which stripped the threads.  There seems to be no room to get drilling or tapping tools at it while in the car.  A San Diego dealer wants to remove the aluminum head and either replace it for $3500 or install a helicoil for $800.  Does anyone know of a better (cheaper) way to cure this?
Thanks,
Dennis McGillis
