To make a long story short, this is what happens when you start pulling spark plugs which require the use of a 6' cheater pipe.

That's what happens to people who don't use anti-seize and a good in-lb torque wrench to install them in the first place... I still hose them down with Kroil an hour or two before trying to pull them too.

It's a mother fricker to try and swing a 6' pipe under the hood. I am very upset with whoever put these plugs in. Gonna drive me to drinkin before 2.

F150 triton?

Crack them about a 1/4 turn the soak overnight with kroil oil. Break loose the next morning when block is cold.


There is a tool made by a company with starts with an L you can get off amazon that works great on broken plugs...

Sorry :(

Nope. Chevy 350. What should be the easiest spark plug job in the history of spark plugs

You shut your whore mouth.

Time to go back for round two. I started at 8 this morning. Got the distributor cap and rotor changed, and 4 spark plugs. Lord only knows how long it will take me to get all the wires changed.

Try it on a ford F150 or a mustang.

Is this by chance the spark plugs on the green machine?


Damn.

Oh yes. It was worth it though. Looka what I found



Runs like a spotted arse ape now. As a bonus, I added some seafoam to the oil and the tapping lifter is no longer tapping.

I'm not sure if I want 33x12.5 boggers or 34x10.5 LTBs with new rims. Not much difference in price.

Or 35's

Or maybe Q78 TSLs

Too many decisions to make. I'm going to drink beer and change oil now.

And nana dance in the yard. I've been hunting that gremlin for a while now

I'll confess my ignorance -- what's the brown stuff (that looks like oil & water mixture) ?

Combustion chamber deposits. Deposits like that come from running old gas or too much fuel treatment. Looks like OP loves his redneck tune-ups

Those came from 20 years of combustion.
