[alfa] Plug hole stripped

[Gilbert Gagne <gil5941@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

<Our 1994 164LS blew out a plug last week. Turns out the head is striped.>

Your local auto parts store sells a repair kit consisting of  a 
combination"tap" and reamer to cut new threads and either a "Helicoil" 
thread insert with insertion tool or a metal insert with internal 
threads same as your spark plug. Once the insert is threaded into the 
head you can then screw in a standard spark plug.
