i did but the 14mm tap threaded it too big and the sparkk plug and sleve go all the way through the threads. and they said it was too close to the valves and they wouldnt be able to weld it cuz the ycant get up in there. i was like WTF. i am going to takke it to another shop in LA. GAY *** SPARKK PLUG THREAD TAPPER

 

see if they can put a helicoal in that should fix it.

 

thats what im saying i dont know why a helicoil wouldnt work

 

i dont think u can use a helicoil becouse all it really is, is like a spring that get screwed in backwords. it will not seal it up and when u go to change ur spark plugs the coil will come out with it. i would say get a new head. what happens if the helicoil falls out in ur motor u will be lookin for more than a head when that happens!!!

 

You could weld the hole and retap.

The threads do not seal a spark plug.

 

BUMP

 

I say go with the GSR head. I've only read about b16 and how they don't provide as much power as the GSR. Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

i read in a honda tuning that the gsr head has a better design for na cars and the b16/type r is best for boost
something to do with the port designs
so i hope that helps in you decision
also how did you strip the thread??? how much did you tighten it

 

GO with the a2 vtec screams in that... or go big money and get a B16b or type r

 

i have bought a b16a2 from h-t. it is for sale. its complete except for not having a distributor. pm me to see.

 

The best B16 or ITR that you can afford and then use your GSR cams if it didn't come with CTR's or ITR's.

who gives a **** if it screams, if he slaps that b16 head on the gsr block hes going to lose compression.

 

I've got a complete vtec (B16) head for sale. Intake, sensors, tps, throttlebody, type-r cams, vtec solenoid, aem cam gears, etc. PM me if interested.
