wassup my fellow EvoM'ers!. yesterday i started prepping my car for turbo (install this weekend).. so I installed the walbro 255, bought new oil and coolant and i decided to get a head start on changing the spark plugs (NGK BKR7e)... i changed them from right to left (drivers side to passenger) gaped them to .030 after i took out the the 3rd one i knew the 4th would be a charm... but to my suprise... the top of the 4th plug(the one closest to the passenger side) was broken. i can stick my middle finger down in the plug chamber and move the top of the plug around... BUT it wont unscrew all the way.. ?????????????? wtf is there a way to get this out if this happens? or am I f'd!

Ironicly it screws back into place like normal so right now im running 3 cold plugs and 1 plug at stock ..... evo guys & es/oz help a brother get this plug out!

 

It's hard to imagine what exactly happened but if worst comes, you can take off the head and take out the plug then. Or maybe just the valve cover. I don't think you should be running 3 colder plugs and 1 regular.

 

yeah i took off the valve cover to do this. no luck... it looks like im gonna have to bring it to a shop only for him to tell me its 60$ to take it out

 

just toss a deep set 5/8 socket on there with an extension. unscrew the plug until it is completely loose and all the threads are out. grab the plug with needle nosed plyiers.

 

Or buy a magnetic pick up tool.

 

i got a mechanic to get it out.. 10$ im relieved... now i can concentrate on dropping this turbo in!

 

nice; good luck on the turbo install.
