do I have to remove the head for a blown spark plug?

May 26, 2007 by lailyn_rose | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

I have a 99 chevy cavalier 4 cyl 2.2 that blew a spark plug. I have a heli coil kit but I don't know if I have to remove the head or not.

if you are going to do as the guy says then make sure you have that piston up and after you apply the helicoil blow the cylinder out with compressed air. This may get any metal shaving to blow out the plug hole.
