spark plug blow out

[nwapache]

can anyone recommend a shop between seattle and marysville that can helicoil or rethread a blown out spark plug cylinder? with the head still on the car(its in front so easy access).....

Never had them do this, but I would call brads custom auto and talk to them

I've heard of 4.6's doing that, it's feaking wierd

 

[nwapache]

it freakin sucks! I was just coming in to Ellensburg and blap blap blap.....now I gotta deal with it!

 

[nwapache]

anyone? or are there no good shops around here?

I broke a plug trying to get it out of my Subaru, is there a way to get that out without removing then head?

 

[nwapache]

you broke the spark plug off in your head? wow that sucks...I can't imagine how you could get it out without removing the head.

yea its pretty common.... btw apache how you likein the mongoose kit?

 

[nwapache]

The mongoose kit was great up untill I blew up my plug! Took it to Sun Valley and back, ran like a charm and ate cars silly enough to not recognize that funny little whining noise!
I'm probably going to be swapping over to some stage 2 heads, and blower cams, so it should be even more fun when I get back to 8 cylinders!

 

[almostblown]

Yeah, I just got the car, went to pull the plugs. First one came out tough, 2nd one busted after taking the breaker bar to it... damn thing lived up to its name! Its an '87 and the last plug reciept I saw was back in '98. Havent even touched the 3rd plug.

But thats what I figured, Ill pull the head.

[MyFordsFly]

Thats no good, Sounds like Bill can hook you up though.

 

[nwapache]

Okay thanks Bill, I'll call you guys first thing monday morning!!!!!

Detonation can cause that, melts enough of the plug to blow it out, usually the plug suffers worse than the head, get a thread chaser from the parts store and see if the threads will clean up enough to get a new plug in it.
