Spark plug thread repair kits are a go-to solution when the spark plug threads in your vehicle's cylinder head have been stripped or damaged. This can be caused by over tightening or cross-threading a spark plug. Using a spark plug thread repair kit could save you from having to replace the car's cylinder head. A special tool secures the thread insert inside the spark plug port, restoring threads without tapping the head. At O'Reilly Auto Parts, we carry spark plug thread repair kits, spark plugs, and the tools you need to get your vehicle back on the road.
