Ok so i was changing the spark plugs in the car, but number 2 is acting like it is cross threaded and wont come out.. i dont want to fuck up the head by forcing it out, but i need to get it out to replace it.. How can i get it out???

 

Spray a bunch of PB blaster into the hole and let it sit overnight, it probably wont work, someone was stupid and didnt put anti seize on the threads when installing the plugs, and so they are stuck, or maybe someone did cross thread them.

 

it will turn, but you know how it feels when you either over tighten a bolt or cross thread it, you can retract it to some point but gets harder and harder as you go.. Yea, Its either going to have to stay in there until i can get the head to a machine shop or?????

 

If you can get it out and it does tear up the threads you have the option of helicoil or timesert also.

 

Put the other 3 plug in, run the motor till its kind of warm and then remove it.

 

Well then if its cross threaded, metal shavings and shit in the combustion chamber... Try the PB blaster method.

 

yeah, because they wont get in there if it wasnt ran right? Wrong.

 

i got it out, but yes the bottom of the plug was kinda fucked up. i got the new one in not the easiest but it tightened down ok. i guess it'll be fine till i can have the head worked over..

 

mine did this but i got a compression tester stuck in it lol..when i finally got it out it ripped out like 3 or 4 threads so i was always scared it would get worse so when i had the head off doing a head gasket i took it to a machine shop and got really lucky that it only messed up a few threads and when we pulled it out the threads came with.so the new goes in without a problem cause there not crossed just missing like 4 out of 20 or so threads

 

i dont ever do that... lol...seriously
