It is possible in theory, to do #4 cylinder with an insert kit but be it known that #4 is under the cowl, under the heater hoses and a load of other tubes and such. It is not really fun to even get this spark plug out let alone try to successfully put in a thread insert.

If the spark plugs are put in with any form of anti-sieze and/or not torqued correctly they will come loose and out. If they had anti-sieze put on them the can't be torqued correctly. It is a deep hole with only 4 or 5 threads in the bottom which is why the problem comes about.

Removing the head is the only way to do a quality repair on #4 hole.
