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 |

Sometimes plugs actually come out safer on a cold engine [head] instead of a hot one.
You should be fine leaving it in there for now, which is probably your best bet. Don't change the other plugs though, leave them all the same IMO, the engine should run smoother. Once it starts to misfire you should replace it [and already have a plan for it]. One option is someone with a 3/8" impact and a good trigger finger should be able to knock it out, if it's going to damage the head it will either way and that might rock it loose. Or you can try the ratchet and he man it, that also could turn out good or bad. Were the plugs antisiezed when they were installed? -------------------- ![]() |
