Hi guys,
In the process of tightning the spark plug, the thread snapped off and iam left with the top portion of the spark plug, rest of the thread is inside the engine.
How do I proceed with removing that without damaging anything?
Thank you.
Wow! In the process you WAY WAY overtightened it you mean? Pop your head and then get it out.
DAMN that sucks X2 take the head off
I removed the valve cover thinking it will help… still deep.
Luckily I looked at the broken end of the spark plug and noticed that it was snapped in a way that I can put it back and spin it out, because it had some teeth for it to grab…
Its out now, but now I face another issue.
I tried another spark plug in that hole and it tightens a little and keeps spinning… this sucks… more research and hacking away to do, and I belive the process is called helicoil.
everything is good… had to press down and tighten it
