Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Steel plugs in aluminum heads

Use penetrating oil 

Let it sit for a while 

Do it while the engine is cold 

Use a 3/4 drive if you can more torque

In defeat you need it!

     

Scars are Tattoos with better stories !

If you follow all the rules

You miss all the fun! 

If you have no enemies, you have no character !

Hi Friends,

I need to change the spark plugs in my old Maserati. They are really tight, and may not gave been changed in 20 years! I have not forced them free for fear of thread damage.

What tricks do you guys use to avoid thread damage? Can penetrating oil get past the crush washers? Would it be better to remove the plugs with a hot engine? Should I just avoid the problem all together?

Advice please?
