Stripped spark plug thread
Ok, I don't know much about cars, but here is my situation...
I have a 90 Corolla Wagon w/ 253,000 miles. I blew a spark plug today and the mechanic said the threads are stripped. He tells me that if he puts an insert in to anchor the spark plug, metal shards will be stuck inside the engine and really mess up the car. Is this BS or not? To replace the cyclinder he tells me it will be $1500 (the car is only worth $1400).
TIA!
