Spark Plug Warning

[NickPic83]

Smooth or crunchy?


Is PB Blaster the name brand? I'm about to change the plugs on my Cobra so I figure I'll give it a try.

PB Blaster is just a brand name for penetrating fluid helps loosen up rusted up bolts. It wicks into the threads and helps release them.

PB Blaster is not even close to KROIL!!!
Kroil is the best!

And neither would have made a wit of difference to the problem I am addressing. The factory puts the original spark plugs in dry. This is a big no no in my book. ALWAYS put anti-seize on spark plugs.

yes u should always use anti-sieze but the penetrating oil will help in either case

Be sure to use high temp nickel anti seize and actually the plugs in the 3v engines foaming Carb cleaner actually loosens the carbon build up on the end of the plug. We break them loose, soak with Carb cleaner and then remove. When the plugs come out making all kinds of creaking you know the whole plug is coming out. When the don't make any noise chances are you have one broke off in the head.

PB blaster is the Chit! Used with great success on my end. I refer to PB blaster as WD-40 on steroids only bc it has worked for me better through my years of motor swaps, ect...

Well back to the original topic of plug removal, I just pulled all 16 to instal cooler NGKs with a supercharger and they all broke free and spun out with no problem at all. I broke them loose and then spun them out by hand. Not sure why rbarns came out so hard
