Only way that I know of is to pull the head. You might be able to repair it but no way without getting far too much metal shavings inside the motor otherwise.

Just plug the hole. That bikes to dangerous and fast anyway.
Should run just fine on the other cylinders. Don't you have an old mini bike you could have just as much fun on? K.T. 1973 911E 2.4 MFI 1983 911 SC 1965 Devin "D" - 1967 912 Power Plant 1997 GMC Z-71 4X4 |

i've know of a 944 stripped plug being repaired at the track. I think there is a way to plug the hole so the shavings don't drop in. Or could you turn the bike so that the plug hole faces down?

stripper
also had a mechanic tell me to put an oily rag for stickiness in the hole, drill, helicoil, remove rag with hemostats. Just have never done this before. any links to this procedure? When i was on the road, i tried some jbweld type stuff, the quickset, but it lasted about 2 miles. probably did not let it cure for the 30 minutes tho....and surface may not have been optimal clean.

among my more intelligent cohorts, the consensus seems to be helicoil, with head on.
my brothers however, will more than likely be sucking down my beer while i do the work.

So it points out of center so you can get to it without engine being removed?

when the tank is on, you can remove the plug out thr right side, with the tank off it is quite accesible. i will send you a pix of a head off ebay
