i dont kno what i should do ? took it to a local mechanic and he couldnt do ****, he didnt want to **** with it and brake it.....causing more damage when my car runs fine right now...


is my only option getting the head removed and worked on? im thinking just getting a b16 head, going lsvtec or just getting a whole new motor b20...

 

If the engine "runs fine" right now, why not just leave it in place? With any luck, the plug will eventually get blown out of the cylinder (and dent your hood in the process). At that point you use a spark-plug tap (about $10) to chase the threads, and install a new plug. If that new plug won't take 13 ft/lbs, then you get the head pulled.

If you really want to pull the plug anyway, then remove the valve cover first. This will allow you to clean off the plug so as to epoxy a plug socket to it. Once the epoxy sets, you unscrew the plug while pulling up HARD as you turn the socket. You will need one of those cheapo "Help" type sockets that has a permanently-mounted T-handle on it.

And boy do you have a lot of oil in that tube!

 

Why not get another head if your gonna pull?it would easier and not that expensive! Just my thoughts though

 

There is a specialty tool for things like that because the fords are real bad about that. I believe Lisle tools makes a spark plug kit that come with a long drill bit and a heli coil kit that works on aluminum heads. Just be cautious about doing it and after you drill it and heli coil it get a blow gun and try to blow as much of the metal shaving out as possible and when you are drilling don't his the piston. If you or no one else feels comfortable probably just get a new head for it.

 

i think honestly, my best bet is just getting a b16 head, ill be saving up and buying piece by piece so i can go lsvtec, its honestly a waste of time and money to just replace my head with another stock ls head, not with my kinda of ambitions ....

i just hope this spark plug last about 3-4 more months..what do you guys think?

 

Why are you asking this question? If you're really stuck on this, just do it and see what happens.

 

this is why you should always use a tincy bit of anti seize(yes i know ngk says not to put it), change in a timely manner and torque spark plugs to 15 ft pd with an accurate torque wrench....

 

ok first there is a TON of oil in there.

Second I'm guessing the Plugs Hex it what is striped and not the threads.

If it's the hex and not the threads of the plug this is ez to fix.
ok the hex of a spark plug is 5/8 Or 16mm so with that in mind get a 6 point 15mm deep well socked and a long extension. Now turn the extension buy hand till you can feel when the socked is allined with the Hex of the plug now take a large hammer and tap the extension to drive the socket onto the plug this will make a compression fit to the plug now just remove the plug as Normal

I have removed over 30 plugs this way in over 25 cars with out a problem.

 

LOL LOL LOL LOL

I looked it the Pix a Little closer It's Not Stripped and that's Not all oil.

It's the black rubber boot from the end of the plug wire.

Get a Pick or Long Needle nose plyers and pull it out then remove the plug.

 

are u sure? im hoping its this easy, because i didnt strip it, nor replace the plugs,,,i was in the process replaced all three and bam this one just spinning no coming out, i gett a little flash light and bam it looks stripped....wtf? so now pieces of my spark plug wire are stuck in there? is that possible

 

are you sure, look at this plug, its stripped. no where to grab on to..... and yea i have oil in all 4 holes. i tried to do a vavle cover change and couldnt remove this plug. so im stuck. im really hoping its just a simple as you explained, no local mechanics around Los Angeles area?

 

of course the hex is stripped not the thread , i dont kno who did this, or if they or tightend it or if the plastic piece of the sparkplug is stuck on their, if i can get it out i wont have to invest of a new head

 

as mentioned, just use a long pick and see if you can feel/pick any rubber in there. look at the end of the spark plug wire for that cyl. see if any rubber is missing. it's hard to tell from the pic if that's what's going on here. but it looks like it could be. and if oil was leaking into the tube, it's very possible. since the oil will have deteriorated the boot
also, you can still do the vc gasket and tube seals without removing the plug. just fyi

 

NOW I get it. This thing is NOT "stripped". Your plug wire has come apart, leaving behind the rubber bottom piece that clamps onto the insulator. You need to McGyver-up some sort of hook to dig into the rubber and pull it up and off. Super-simple.

I think you're either too young or too non-mechanically-inclined to tackle stuff like this.

 

both my friend...lol, im trying and learning at the same time, ive only been in the scene for a year, last year this time, i didnt know a goddamn thing about a car let alone a honda...

im praying that the rubber part is whats preventing me from getting this plug out...it would make sense

 

Yes i'm Sure.

Look at the plug the you have stuck and look at the other plugs you can get out.
the porcelin (white section of the plug) is too short to be seeing the full plug.

i'll bet if you take a pix of one of the other plugs you will see what i'm talking about.

also sence the tip boot is off the wire and is swollen from oil get a New set of wires.

 

Yup, its your rubber boot. Had this happen on my S2000. Then it went down hill but thats a new story lol.


Get a pick or a pair of needle nose pliers and mess with it untill you can get the rubber out.


And thank you for posting a pic and not asking dumb *** questions.

Your not going to damage that brass sleeve that it sits in, so don't worry about that just fiddle with it for a bit and itll pop out eventually.

 

What does the plug wire end for that plug look like, post a pic of it. 94

 

these are the ones

 

Are they the actual ones off your car, if so it does not look like any of the plug lead was left on the plug. 94

 

what? i bought these from autozone they are bosh for my car, your probably right, im hoping i dont got to remove my head and all i need is to remove that rubber piece

 

I mean the spark plug leads that were on the car when you unplugged that one, ["strepped plug"]???

 

ok, now you lost me, i kno for a fact these sparkplugs were never torque over the limit or whatever, my friend who sold me the car wouldnt do that **** hes not a retard, so i dont kno how this could be like this, it has to be the rubber end of the sparkplug wire, if not well ill be saving up for a Vtec head and the rest of the **** i will need

 

Post a picture of the spark plug wire in that cylinder.

 

Hes just asking you to post a pic of your actual spark plug wires
