Cross threaded spark plug

[nieko]

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.
