I have WD40 or PB Blaster which one should I use. MI can get them to turn, but they come to a stop both way unless I use a lot of force. I really don't want to remove this f@#king head

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.

NOT on NGK plugs, they already have a coating on them and don't need anti-seize.

I REPEAT I GOT THE OTHER ONE, CRISIS AVERTED. I don't know how or why it happened, but F me. I assume the on blaster that is sitting in my combustion chamber now will just burn off with start up


It's sad that I have a 600 S and I need advice on how to remove a PITA plug

Well, I tried putting in copper plugs and it seams like the inside of the threads on the head might have some medal shavings, im going to clean that up and order some IRDIUM plugs so don't have to change as often

I've ran all season on a 1 set of iridiums. They ARE worth the money.

I don't think I'm out of the woods yet, i tried to put plugs in and they don't go in that easy. I will clean the threads well, however I read if its cross threaded the plugs will blow out of the hood, I'm sure that wont be a pretty sight. I think ill clean them really well, and see if I can get IRDIUMS in there nice and snug

NGK 2668 FTW, I change them out every oil change to be safe and then tighten them down to 19ft/lbs with a torque wrench
