- In this episode I attempt to repair a stripped out damaged spark plug thread on my 1964 VW Beetle. Using a spark plug repair kit I re cut a new thread and fit a steel insert. Please lie and subscribe if you find this video useful and check out my other videos. Jamie
I have this problem on my VW type 4 engine. I might give this a try once I have the engine pulled
It worked very well and still holding. I actually removed the plugs recently and all is good. No need for the lock tight though as the heat from the engine affects it. Jamie
A new Beetle owner here, got mine cheap as previous owner stripped the threads on a cylinder and the car was left to rot. This video was very helpfull, I didn’t even know such tool existed. So I went to Biltema and bought it. Thank you very much! 😊 Even tho, I did it without pulling the motor out so it was very hard to work on it as there is not much space and you can’t see the hole. I had to buy threaded pins M12X1.5 and M14X1.5 which I had to run through first because this tool just didn’t for some reason bite in and start to make the threads first without it
PS: Do you live in Finland?
That’s super. Glad you were able to fix it. Yes the tool from Biltema was very blunt and I almost gave up with it. I think you did the right thing and bought the correct size taps 👌🏼 Yes I like in Finland 🇫🇮 do you?
@@jamiedowson6482 I live here too. Like it and not😅. I think I saw you once working in a shop specialised in British cars(?)
@@alex_darl7637 Yes that would have been me 😁 I do like living in Finland although the winters are a little too long. Jamie
“I’m talking like I know what I’m doing.” 😅 You’re not supposed to say the quiet part out loud. 😊
