k20a3 bad spark bung

OK so im working on a 02 rsx basemodel. my girlfriends car kept missing and got worse and worse so i went to pull the plugs and see what was up well cylder 3 the coil was frieD !!!! i thought that sucked well next i go to pull the plug and omg it was stuck the others came out just fine this one wasnt coming easy. I figured i was screwed at this point. I pulled out the plug and sure enough it pulled all the threads out with it. it had welded itself in from the coil shorting out. Anyway now i have the trouble of what to do. Do i just find a type s head ? or do i try and do i try and put another motor in or say screw it and pull the head put in a healy coil and call it a day. We have about 1500 to work with not a whole lot but enough to do somthing i would guese. Any recommendations im incrediably familure with most hondas just not to sharp on the k sieries. Any help would be great and sorry about the grammer at work had to type fast :P

Do you want the correct way to fix your problem or a different way?

There are a few options at hand here im just trying to get somone that has a educated idea of what worked best for them. I could just replaces the threads and call it good or i could upgrade. I was just trying to get a idea of what other people thought of the type s head or if there are more suitable things such as a tsx motor or somthing. Also to stop any flaming i have no idea what the deal is with the tsx just throwing that out there. Im in the first steps of my research and have been scowering the forums for ideas. Seams like type s heads are hard to come by i found one for fairly cheap but havnt been able to verify that the person is legit yet. Any helpfull ideas are greatly welcomed !!! Thanks in advance

So you're not looking for a way to fix your problem but if a Type S head would work on your engine?

The "correct" way, btw, is to replace the head. But you could do the heli-coil, put in new threads, whatever.
