I have a plug snapped in my Z1000 J2 Cylinder head. I tried an easyout tool but no luck, then tried to drill and retap the thread but again no luck. Now I have an oversized hole where the spark plug should go...ho hum....

So...Can anyone tell me who to take the engine to, to get it helicoiled. I'd prefer not to take the head off as the engine has only done 17k miles and is fine.

I'm near Perth in Scotland if anyone can recommend anyone.

Thanks.

:cry:

If its any help I have a drill and tap that will let you fit an oversize insert

The inserts are EZ-lock like THESE

I dont have any inserts left but they are only a few pounds on Ebay
I am in Glasgow so You can collect or I could post them out.
