Default Ign Coil 2 & 3 stuck

So i'm starting to pull the head apart, and when trying to remove the coils from cylinder 2 & 3 they are stuck.... What the heck anyone run into this issue tried prying up on them and they seem like they are just melted in the damn head. LOL but not funny.

Hmm.. I'm interested to see what they look like once you do get them out.


Just keep working on them and eventually they will come out. They may be in pieces, but they'll come out. LOL!

Ah! I remember now. Yeah, who knows how hot that thing got before you took possession of it. They might be melted, or just seized.

Update: Since the issue with the coils i rebuilt the topend of the engine to find out that the bottom needs to be rebuilt, i'm hearing a slight tapping sound. Engine has been pulled and block will be dropped off at the local Machine Shop after work today.

About the Coils, I finally got them out. Best way was to unbolt the valve cover give it a few taps with a rubber mallet, and then used a small pry bar to pop out the troublesome coils. They were in tact and didn't look out of the norm. Once I had the new rebuilt cylinder head on the block, the coils where sending codes to the ECU Misfire on 2 & 4. So it's safe to say if your coils get stuck, they are going to be bad when you re-use them.

New Coils - Autozone / Napa / etc.... all wanted 60.00 each found a buyer on ebay 2 for 28.00 wish me luck.
