any one ever suffered from cross threading on the b14? they come out but don't go in again......... neither do new ones............

You can buy a tool to re-thread spark plug holes but it's best to take the head off to do it due to the little shards of threads that are taken off by it, because you don't want them getting in to the pistons and wrecking the bores. If they're to badly gone you can get an engineering company to put in a thing called a heli-coil which will give you a brand new thread.

you should be able to get one back in again, its sometimes just hard to line it up right.. try putting an ht lead on and screwing it in with that
