| As far as i'm aware no, sorry, had similar problem with one of my bikes years ago. We tried re-tapping the thread but too much swarf goes into the cylinder. Swapping heads is probably the safest answer. Sorry its not good news..............unless someone else knows better. Hopefully i'm wrong  At least you'll know the head gaskets are ok!! | |

| Had to do the same to mine,its normally the passenger side rear plug cos its a twat to get to so people don't change it and then when you take it out it brings the threads with it | |
