Cross threaded spark plug
I bought this car a few months ago and for some reason i havent changed
the spark plugs, well i decided to check them out because ive been
running rich lately so i pulled the first 3, looked perfectly normal, i pulled
the 4th plug and this plug wasnt even all the way screwed in. so i put a
new plug in and start threading it in and it goes almost all the way and
then it stops right where the old one stopped... i could probably keep
screwing it in but im afraid i might strip it completely. any suggestions?
I was thinking maybe tap it out but then its going to leave metal shavings,
and i dnt think the shavings are magnetic are they? Vacuum them out?
Crappy thing is, i have an event saturday. Well, give me some suggestions
you guys, thanks.
PS. This is a KA24E
