Cylinder spark plug strip
I have a 2000 honda civic.
When checking my spark plugs. I tried to tighten back one
of the spark plugs and i guess it stripped. I can take it out
but it doesn't tighten. I tighten it the best i can. but when
i turn the car on, i heard a knocking sound. And now the
car is not driveable.
Anyone have any suggestiong on how to fix this problem?

Yah i put it back on.. the knocking sound made the spark plug come out
since it wasn't tight enough.

No you dont... If you've never helicoiled anything before, take it to a shop or have someone who know what they are doing to fix it.

how much do you think this job will cost? And I will definetly take it to a shop.
Im not experienced enough to do this type of work.
