Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!
If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us!

Cross-threaded spark plug in Aluminum Edelbrock Cyl Head
Cross-threaded spark plug in Aluminum Edelbrock Cyl Head
HELP!!! Anyone got any good ideas on how to fix this?? Of course, it is the spark plug under the Master Cylinder against the firewall. I imagin the best thing to do is take the cylinder head off, but I have never done that. Will I be able to reassemble this if I take it off and clean up the threads??
Comments / direction is appreciated!!

Couple of ways you can fix it but the safest way would be to remove the head and see how bad it is....it it's really buggered up you might want to consider a heli-coil.
Thanks for the advise guys. Will I be able to reinstall the cylinder head my self?? I have concerns about being able to reinstall / aligning the pushrods properly. I guess it is more of a nervousness, since I have not dealt with heads before, just the rest of the motor.
Good call on replacing the gasket on pass side as well. keep them the same thickness and compression ratio.

Aligning pushrods? Huh? They just go in and are good to go. It's alot simpler then you think man. The hardest part is adjusting the rockers when you are putting it back together. If you don't trust yourself I'm sure someone on here could come over and give you a hand adjusting them.
If you replace both head gaskets they both have 0 miles. You might as well replace it now while you are this far along then in 50 miles have an old head gasket go out, ya know?
