Cross Threaded Spark Plug Repair?

Yeah I see that too, weird.

 

Kroil.........or the Seafoam Creep is good schidt..........

get some before you need it !

 

Yeah that's just a little bit of oil not an o-ring, but your right it does look like that. Is the Deep Creep Seafoam different from the standard Seafoam? I have the standard one. This thing is a bitch. I have been searching online, but I haven't found schidt yet..

 

Deep Creep by Seafoam is a penetrating oil...completely different from Seafoam in the red & white can, the latter of which is a fuel/oil additive.

it sure looks like some sort of o ring wedged down under the left side of the plug and looping over the right side.

Who did the last plug change?

Definitely looks like something that’s not supposed to be there and could be preventing full seating of your socket.

 

Cut a notch in your socket with a grinder and zip disk so it resembles a socket used for removing o2 sensors (remove 2 out of the 6 sides). Slide the two sides you cut out down the narrow side where the spark plug is closest to the tube and loosen.

 

*mind blown*

 

Don’t leave us hanging OP, did you get the plug out ok?

 

These guys have got it.. that rubber thing is the seal from the bottom of the ignition coil boot. Its stuck on the porcelin and preventing the socket from getting down on the plug. Get a curved dentist pick and pull it out, then the socket should slide on all the way

 

Haven't tried yet lol. I bought a new car as a daily so the truck has been parked for a little bit. Making slow repairs as needed to it and its on my list. Tomorrow is brakes, then i need TC cam tab gussets because i sheered mine off on the last trip. Then the plug will be after that.

 

Negative. I haven't gotten it out yet. It's definitely not a rubber o ring. That is a little oil. I will take another picture.

 

Just to be clear, what I see in your original pic is a backwards C shaped thing, wrapping the right side of the spark plug and disappearing under the plug at about the 11:30 and 5:30 positions.

If it is an oring, it would explain why you can’t get your socket seated - the plug might be cross threaded and askew..

 

Try grinding down the outside of your socket until it fits on the plug all the way.

 

I think you are right after I enlarged the pic. Good eye!

 

So I FINALLY was able to remove the plug. I ordered a thin wall spark plug socket from AMAZON.com and it worked. There wasn't an o-ring, or anything like that. There was a tiny bit of oil in there and the reflection is what gave off the look of an o-ring. It wasn't cross threaded either. I don't know what the ..... happened. Thanks for all your comments and help. I appreciate it.
