The # 3 spark plug and internal coil plug blew out, stripping the spark plug threads on the cylinder head! Old spark plug was completely messed up, the firing tip of the electroid is bent completely over and making full contact with the center electroid. I'm hot a mechanic, so I thought a mechanic might be able to point me in a direction of what I can do next!

Thanks,
Trenton Douglas

Best bet would be to call around and find a shop that has dealt with this before. Common problem with those engines, but they make a repair kit for the plug hole. It isnt cheap, that is why I would suggest a shop that has done it before, they would most likely already have the repair kit and the experience to make a good repair, but it usually requires removal of the cylinder head to get proper access to it.
