Stuck Sparkplug
Hi guys,
I noticed a slight stumbling under boost and figured one of my plugs may have fouled out. I went to remove them and my #1 plug will not come out. The other three came out with minimal effort (I'd guesstimate maybe 15-18 ft/lbs) but this one's stuck tight. I gave it some medium torque (maybe 40 ft/lbs) but it's stuck fast and won't budge. I don't want to muscle it, as I'm sure this will remove most of the threads in the head as well. I have it sprayed down with PB-Blaster and it's been soaking overnight but it's still stuck fast. It doesn't budge at all in either direction (tried tightening a little more to see if that'd help loosen it up)
If anyone can suggest anything to try to get this thing loosened up & out that'd be great.
Thanks,
Ryan P.
