my number 2 spark plug ceased and i cant get it out without absolutely torquing on the thing...(which i dont want to do)
any ideas? edit: the guy i goto says that it is probably from over tightening and he doesnt think dumping some wd40 or any penetrating oil down there is gonna help, any other ideas? This post has been edited by aflacattack: Jul 10, 2008 - 4:07 AM |

put the head on a hot plate assuming its off the motor. if its still on, heat the head up in the area on the plug and you should be ok. but dont go back and forth with it or wiggle it, remember that plug and those threads hold back anywhere from 400-1200 psi depending on how your car is running.
