i have a gsr and the #4 cylinder spark plug got stripped and i need to buy a new head. i have a 95 b18c1. which is the best head to throw on it?thanks
b16a?
b16a2?
gsr?

Which one is better for my Setup??

 

The B16A2 is simply a US B16A, so there is no difference.

The difference between the B16 and GSR heads is negligible, especially if you're ever considering any headwork (PnP, valve job, etc), so just buy whatever is cheapest. Just remember that you can't use GSR intake mani's on B16's and vice versa.

 

Why not helicoil the stripped hole?

the threads are too wide and the spark plug and sleeve fall all the way through( they dont thread or get tight. its tapped to big). i dont knkow if it will wokk in my situation. or how long it would workk before it shoots the plug outta the motor again.

I probably could do it if i had the desire.

 

$125.00 plus shipping would be cheaper than a head. Yo, PM combustion Contraption. have him repair it.

 

i tried an insert and the tapp made the hole to big. so even the insert falls through the threads.

 

Tryng to help, Thread serts come in different sizes. PM CC.
