905-812-9785.........I guess I won't make the meet tonight!!

cluster

whatthe hell is this

nice help
"call a tow truck"

Dude taking off the cover is easy

Get a LONG Set of needle nose pliers and take out the plug your self

[1sL0CiviC]

wouldnt he need to replace the gaskets then???
he wanted 2 fix it fast, so why not?

imported_precision4

cant take it out with pliers b/c it is still threaded in...ct can get it out for like 120 bucks!...it's the fastest way to go to get my car back on hte road.....they said they use something called EZ-OUT at a machine shop

imported_94EG6HB

Basically its a bit that grabs onto whats left and turns it out...

Sorta like when you need to remove a stripped bolt...

Is you car still fucked...

imported_precision4

yup...i'll find out later today whether crappy tire can get it out...i'll keep you posted..

imported_precision4

I'm screwed.....Ct says 225 to 'attempt' to get the spark plug out...looks like i'm gonna swap heads for a 5th gen head for 500 at ksr....would liek to swap for something more but dont have the cash..is this a good idea?

imported_94EG6HB

Will KSR try to do it???

If not it looks like you don't have much choice...

Can't you remove the head and try that way???

imported_precision4

If I could remove the head that I would not have this prob!!!....to do it a shop they sd 900 at least so I might as well swap for the vtec head (vtec not connected but can hook up later) My head is just spinning b/cI was not expecting this expense..soes anyone have this swap at all? Is it a good idea? just needs some advise and quick if possible b/c i need to make the decision today!

I guess I'm too late, but I would've suggested the ez out route as well. I'm not exactly sure, but I don't think an ez out kit is that expensive... depending on the type you get. Where I work, we've had to use them a few times to remove oil drain plugs when the head has completely broken off.
If it's not too late, I'd suggest getting your car out of CTC and try the ez out. Just make sure you know what you're doing.

imported_precision4

ez out is what ct ws going to use and it doesn't so it's now time for a hybrid!
