    WTB: SOHC Head or Full Motor

    Some how one of my spark plug holes managed to become stripped, so I need to replace the head. Anyone got one they can ship to me relatively cheaply?

    Why not just try to tap a heeli-coil in there.. Look up "Permaplug".

      I recommend what pox says, but if you're not up to the task, pm me. I've a head I'm willing to part with. taps, like all mazdas, but nothing a light hla cleaning won't fix. let me know if you want it.
      No car! I soldz it. Now I have a truck. I like it, but apparently it has a hard time keeping up with a slightly modified 4WD protege with half the hp. Neat.

        Heli-coiling a spark plug hole is either a hit or a miss. I hope you have a plan B.

        This is a perfect opportunity/excuse to swap to a DOHC.
