I can't remove my spark plugs, WTF
I figured I would check my plugs this morning, so I am able to turn them, however it almost feels like Im tightening them, did my head get too hot and melt the threads or something? I don't want to just keep turning it to the left and hope it comes loose. I tried to cyclinders and both are acting the same way. The block is cold, any idea of the issue? The highest egts I saw was 1200F, and the highest water temp was 214F towards the top of the 5th during the run.
FWIW, when I put them in, I torqued them down to recommended setting CY 1 &2 come out fine, which makes me think its a heat issue, FML |
Did you use some anti-seize?

No, they move freely, but just don't come loose, almost like I'm trying to tighten them...... |
That is bad news my friend. You sure they are not coming out? How many turns did you attempt?

I mean at this point I could just keep turning it and see if it will come out,MIT looks like I can't damage it any more than I already did? |
oh snap :/
|
always use anti-seize when installing plugs
|
I think there cross threaded, FML
|
Try starting it and letting it warm up a little. The head may have warped slightly with the heat.

they can only be cross threaded if you installed them that way. ALWAYS use anti-seize.
i have had they happen many times in the past. i use "BG" products in-force penetrating oil that foams when sprayed. shot some down around the base of the spark plugs. let sit fo a minute or so. then try to turn each plug until it stop, evan if it is only 1/16-1/8 turn. spray it again and go to the next sprak plug. it my take awhile but they will come out.:tipwink: |
