#2 spark plug hole screwed

<DIV></DIV>Burn up? We're not talking about the shuttle here kids! I dunno if there is a recomended procedure for plug threading with the head in place but I would think that leaving bits of metal in ones combustion chamber is simply asking for disaster. 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Pulling the head is realy not that big of a deal, head gasgets are cheaper than new overbore pistons.

<DIV></DIV>Metal shavings into the combustion chamber isn't near as bad as in the block 
<DIV></DIV>with the oil. I wouldn't worry too much about the shavings in the 
<DIV></DIV>combustion chamber since the first rotation of the motor they will shoot out 
<DIV></DIV>the exhaust anyway or burn up. I'm not saying it OK to do it but a cylinder 
<DIV></DIV>needs a spark plug!! 
<DIV></DIV>As far as getting the threader in the plug hole, I would just pull the valve 
<DIV></DIV>cover and see if that helps. You can always grind down a socket, it'll 
<DIV></DIV>defineately be worth it in the long run!

<DIV></DIV>&gt; Youn can't , I don't think, because you will be dropping metal shavings 
<DIV></DIV>into 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; the engine which is bad.
