I drilled them off, It actually took a while because I didn't want to push to hard...it was cool when it broke off though it sounded like it snapped...at least I will have a working engine again(once I get a new head anyway)! Hopefully I will be able to get a fantom in a few months though, then my car will really be going!

is it HDMX10 or something like that? If it is then I exchanged like 10 emails with him and at the last minute I looked at it and it was actually a head for a .15FE, not a 12SS, it just looked very similar.

Engine Head/Heatsink troubles
KyleSch,
I didn't mean to start any controversy, just offer a possible solution. I asked the same question about 45 days ago. There was some discusion about it on a thread that I posted regarding heliocoils.
I ended up finding a used head that I could eyeball relally quicly for like $10 so I didn't bother to try the heliocoil, but I still have the head and someday I might try it when (ya right) I get the time. I'm surprised if there $50. I think the replacement for my RC10GT was only about $25 but it wasn't in stock and I found an alternative cheaper and quicker by luck

Before I get a new one, (since I was getting that used one but won't fit my engine) I'll see if I can find some sort of sleeve thing, like someone said and thread that and the head so it screws into the head hole, and fix it up with some of that permanent thread lock, then thread that to fix the glowplug, im just not sure if I can find something like that but ill try
