Cross threaded spark plug 200 1981

posted by  someone claiming to be Steve Ross on  Fri Mar 21 05:16 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I was changing my plugs last night and all but one of the plugs came out with my fingers after I loosened them with a wrench. One had been previously installed cross threaded and needed a wrench all the way out. When I replaced it I put it back in with my fingers to a point but then it would not go farther by hand. I fiddled to try to find the original threads but could not so I finished it off with my socket. So my question is: What could go wrong with this plug? Could it blow out of the head? If I were to install a healy coil how would I keep crap from falling into the cylinder?

Thanks

Steve
