I agree with Edgar that the block should be rapairable, you could always sleeve that cylinder as well.

I would like to get a 4V head one of these days (a free one) to clean up and use as a decoration in the house, if he gets a replacment and is going to ditch it, let me know, I'll take it.

The problem has not been cross threaded plugs....too common to be something that simple.

If you want a 4V head then come by the shop....I've got 2 RH ones sitting here

I researched it before I bought the L, so I wouldnt blow a plug....just a block



Happens alot to 2V motors, but I have never heard of this happening to a 4V

I think I have read that some of the 4V heads were susceptible to the plug blowout like the 2V's. I'd have to search maybe stangnet to find it.
