Best blown sparkplug fix besides new heads?

Is there an acceptable "on the truck" fix for blown sparkplugs?

or is the only real option yanking the heads and getting them worked over?

Many, many on this site have had great success with Timesert. A member here, Galaxy, rents out a kit.

yup, timesert in and all is good. After some miscommuncation, "The Mustang Shop" said they wouldn't do it (and suggested taking it somewhere else because yanking the heads was silly).

I took it to "Eastside Services" and they rocked it out for me. Charged me 1.5 in labor. I gave them another 3 hours to change all the plugs and check the coilpacks while they were at it (I hate that job).
