Question
hi my name is sergio hope you can help me i have a 1997 chevy silverado and i was doing a tune up on it and on the last spark plug i removed i think i damaged the threads in on my truck .what can i do to solve the problem

Answer
Hi Sergio...you can buy a plug hole thread chaser...just run it in the threads a couple times as long as they are not totally stripped you will be ok...if they are to far gone then you will need to remove head and drill , tap and install helicoil or replace head....hope this helps....happy new year
