Hey guys, well I've gone and fooked up the # 2 spark plug cylinder hole.........(I know, what a compleat we-tad)
Does anyone know what size of tap I have to get ?
also to those heli coils work if this fails?
Or do I have to take the next 2 weeks off work and get a new head???
or should I just tow it to a mech and get them to do it?
Any tips or hints on lining it up properly would be greatly greatly appreciated...

Not sure on the tap size, but make sure you use something like petroleum jelly on the tapper so the metal shavings do not fall into the engine.

you can try a tap but id say you should use some kind of insert like a heli coil

PHEW.......You can buy a thread chaser 14mm comes with a nice o ring seal for your socket, makes it prety sturdy, cleaned out the threads and it slipped in like a wet school girl.
and the jelly worked like a charm thanks russiankid.
