You can't just bend them you have to have a plug gapper! $.25 at any auto store.
Go to the chat box!
They are all closed, as far as I know.
I just need to know if it would blow up like that while I take it 10 miles to a shop.
yeah that one was a bitch on my 95, i had to really put some ass in it to get it out. but to tell you the truth there is really only 1 way to get it out whether its cross threaded or not.

give em the news dsg
well if worse comes to worst you break the plug off where the threads start then you are gonna need to do a little bit of drillin after you pull everything apart....everything, then have to retap the hole....if its still salvagable, if not then you got to drill a bigger hole and either helicoil the hole or sleeve it. pain in the ass. just a quick run thru on the crap i put up with from day to day. not trying to discourage you from doing it the damn thing still needs to come out. also if it were me as a machinist out in town id charge you 80$ and hour and 160an hour for set up and thats just for the machine work, thats not pulling anything apart or anything. do it yourself with some friends that want to help, with the combined skills to get it fixed right the first time...........free.
I said come see me.. I can't help anymore unless you come see me... And orange is right you do not need a colder plug unless your running N2O
Well, you weren't going to be there tonight so well, I might have to go to Orange's tommorow
that fine orange learned from me so I trust him with all my cars..
Well, he is busy with his own engine install tommorw. Will you be available for anything tommorow?
yes I am available just remember I work real hours... Won't be home till after 5:00pm
Ok, thanks, I need it fixed as soon as possible because it is my only car.

don't go over to anybodies without a fresh set of 8 copper plugs from autozone to install. Can't be more than 2 bucks for each plug. And stop talking about your -3 timing. Orange is right, that means nothing. I am sure Emilio can help you, and if not, I will, I have also done my fair share of 5.0 work. Detonation is an issue, but usually pretty easy to figure out in a non forced induction vehicle.
You do not need a new tune, you just need some ignition tweaks that probably won't cost much money. You are in good hands with Bobby and Emilio. And I will help you however you need, just let me know. I too have a timing light and a plug gapper and almost anything else you could ever need. No need to throw more money at it, let those experienced guys who can't afford to keep trying parts take a shot. Good luck.

yes bring Autolite 25
You're right. I don't know what heads he has because some require the longer washer style plugs and some don't. I was only thinking of the heat range of the 3924's being correct. Those plugs may not be right for his heads? He needs to post his combo in the garage.
LMAO I am speechless. Oh and I can gaurantee you Greg will not give you a penny back. He will however send you a new tune if it is in fact the tune that is messed up. If you need help in that area let me know!!!!!
