eww.. i had that happen in my old eclipse... bought it then a week later got on it and it blew the plug out of the plug cover... so that was fun to deal with. i forgot what it was called but, i had to rethread the hole and put in a sleeve type deal that the plug treaded into as well. seem sketchy but it worked. for the 8k miles i put on it before it crank walked :/.

Do you know why yours blew? It happened to me on cylinder #3, and people were saying I didn't torque the plug right.. Also used Helicoil and it's been a charm since.

didnt have a torque wrench, just tighten them and didnt use anti- seize either

probably one or both of those were the reason haha but i have a toruqe wrench and used anit- seize on the threads

helicoil saved my life
