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 |

wow, completely forgot i made this thread >.<
i drove down to a friends shop and we tried to get it loose while the car was both warm and cold, i put a few drops of penetrating oil down there a few days before and then the day before i went, still no movement. didnt go over 25 lbs to try to get it out, still no luck. The head is still on the car btw.. I'll just not worry about it for right now. I'll work on it later when i have another means of transportation in case the head has to come off. Thanks to everyone for the help, i'll update you if i get any progress! |
