How does this kit fix stripped spark plug threads?

The 38900 kit repairs damaged spark plug holes by drilling and tapping the original bore, then installing a threaded M14-1.25 insert to recreate the correct spark plug seat. Each step uses purpose-made parts to keep the new thread concentric and secure.

• Includes twist drill and screw tap sized for M14-1.25 inserts.
• Line-up guide ensures the drill and tap enter straight to avoid cross-threading.
• Threaded inserts restore factory spark plug dimensions and provide corrosion-resistant seating.
