Re: Stuck spark plug
Well guys, some good news. Got the plug out with a 3/8 spark plug ratchet. That noise I heard was the plug threads making the noise, kroil really helped and it came out perfectly. Ran a thread chaser down the hole, no damage to the threads or to the threads on the plug. It sure was carboned up badly, gap was non existent. pulled the rest of the plugs and removed the valve cover on the right side, 2 push rods flopping around on that side, no 4 was one of them. So a total of 3 pushrods flopping around, no wonder the engine didn't start. The last plug was also a #43, so all the plugs in the engine were incorrect length. None of the electrodes were flatten, so I guess there was no piston contact.
Going to set the valves close to specs and do a compression test today.
