I did it now!!

Changing plugs on my 88 760 Turbo today, I made it to the last plug by the firewall. I noticed it a little rough, pulled it out, stripped about the first 3 threads.

Are these heads aluminum?

What do I do now??

I thought of trying a thread die, how will I see to get it straight.

I guess I will have to have it towed in and have a shop do it.

Has anyone else experienced this very "sick" feeling?
