Cynikal.Mindset

hmmm, besides get drunk tonight I dunno...I have to take a look and see if I can use some kind of "extract it" type tool and get those threads out, other than that the head is gonna have to come off...which I dont wanna do at all

Gunmetalef

^ no dont do that, you looking at taking the head off. Do it right, dont try to jimmy rig it. Next time a plug is too tight to come out, run a bit of sea foam through a vaccum line, sometimes that frees up a bit of carbon thats on the threads sticking into the combustion chamber.

oooohh that burns! Well, when was the last time you changed your timing belt? It looks like a good opportunity to do a change.

Gunmetalef

imported_precision4

i feel your pain.. had the exact same thing happen to me!!! i got an engine swap!!

imported_Cablerat

Ohhh so that's why you're on 3 cyls.. was wondering cuz I read that in another post..

The plug didn't even brake in half.. it's like the electrode casing snapped off.. You might be really screwed and have to remove the head!

imported_Syphon

My engine head is coming off tonight too.. warped the head and blew the head gasket. I'm in the same boat, just slightly more different (and expensive) repair.

imported_bevboyy

Matt - do the mini-me!!!

Gunmetalef

all fixed
no need to remove head

Cynikal.Mindset
