[s-cars] Spark plug thread refurbishing

[Paul Souza]

Konstantin,

I can relate.  I just went through this repair on my UrS6.   Not a cheap
repair.  The onset of symptoms was pretty rapid, but I didn't help the issue
any because after the initial symptom showed itself, it rapidly went
away....and then I proceeded to drive 500+ miles.   So my threads were
pretty toasted.  I had the head pulled and threads repaired (#5 cylinder).
