stripped saito threads
My Saito 100 has stripped threads where the glow plug goes. I know better but yes, it is my faught. Has anyone else had this happen? Does anyone know the thread size so I can re-tap it?
Thanks for the help.

RE: stripped saito threads
You can send the engine head to Clarence Lee in California and he'll insert a helicoil for $15 to $20. I recently got a Saito back from him and he did an excellent job.

If I remember correctly, glow plugs are 1/4x32.
If the threads are stripped, you may want to consider sending the head to Clarance Lee and have a heli-coil put in. He advertises in the back of the major RC mags.
