Do NOT use a helicoil. A good repair shop or machine shop will have the tools to install an insert which becomes a permanent repair. A helicoil will come out when the spark plug is removed and cause further damage to the cylinder head.

How do you install spark plug helicoil?
A helicoil kit will come with directions, special size drill bit, special size tap, helicoil install tool and the helicoil. First you drill out the hole with the drill supplied, tap the new hole with tap supplied, screw in the helicoil with supplied tool then snap off remaining tab and yes some metal ends up in the cylinder. If the metal scraps are steel you can withdraw most of it with a magnet if it's aluminum they will have to pass thru the system on their own. Crisco smeared in the flutes of the tap will trap most of the metal shaving.

In an item into which a bolt goes, the item can be repaired by using a helicoil insert, once the damaged thread has been prepared to a larger size using a helicoil tap. The insert has a matching larger outer diameter, and has an inner diameter to match the original thread size. Also an inserting tool is needed, so best to purchase a kit with all parts in. One company that makes the helicoil items is called Re-Coil.

Many auto parts stores sell a helicoil thread insert kit that will replace the damaged or missing threads. The kit should include an installation tool that will reach down into where the spark plug was removed. The kit will have instructions on enlarging the stripped hole and creating new threads for the helicoil or steel insert. A new spark plug should thread directly into the new thread insert.
