Hello;
Just my luck, a simple plug change turns into a nightmare!!
Number 5 (From the front of the engine) came out without any threads and the plug is rusty! (rusty plug threads are stuck in the head!!!) The rest of them don't look that way!
NOW WHAT DO I DO???? Take it to a shop? Pay big bucks to have the head taken off?? WHAT?? Is there a way I can get this fixed myself?
This is bad!! Haven't taken # 6 out because of the cramped space at this point between the engine and firewall!! (TB has 98K on it and ran really good, till now!!)
HELP!! Im all ears!! ALL EARS!!


heat with a propane torch, then spray and cool with penetrating oil ,
at least three times in sequence heat & cool with penetrating oil,
then use FREEZE SPRAY and an easy out
watch all three linked videos and read the link:D
