Yes, there is a kit available that would be your best bet for rethreading. After that follow some basics on spark plug changing in these engines. It is important that you take care due to the too few threads in the head. The rethreading process and the correct plug change process is WELL documented on this site. A search will bring more than you ever wanted or need to know on the subject.

Good luck,
