All of them? Surely not! If what I understand from your post, you probably overtigtened the plugs, and stripped the threads. What engine do you have?

Not sure what you mean when you say "Sleeve" a sparkplug hole. Heli-coil is threaded insert you place in the whole.

A stripped plug hole is not a simple fix. Take it to CatHouse or somebody trained to make the repair correctly, assuming you are not experienced in this area. More money, but, a lot more peace of mind later.

His home lake is Lake Norris. Not sure where that is? As usual, Mack tells it just like it is...... Hey Mack, we should have a cold drink next time I come to Lake.
