I was on my way to work this morning and blew the plug out of my #1 cylinder. I was taking it easy and heard it pop when I shifted from 2nd to 3rd. I had it towed to the shop and they are going to check it out tomorrow. I am hoping that the threads are ok in the head, but it does not look too good. The COP was destroyed and the plug was beat up pretty bad on the lower threads.
The shop did not recommend the helicoil fix due to the supercharger, but I really do not want to drop ~$2,500 on a new head, gasket, labor, etc.
Any suggestions? How many have used the helicoil on our engine with no problems?
