<VV> spark plug hole stripped

[Frank DuVal]

First try to put the insert on the new spark plug and screw it into the head. Don't cross thread. If it torques properly, no worries. 

If not, you need Matt's instructions.

(probably no good at the temps the head can reach) but there are hardly and threads left where the insert was.  wondering if there is a better method of repair?
