Having trouble removing a spark plug
I'm switching to warmer spark plugs and noticed that one of my plugs has trouble coming loose. (Spark plug #3 on the bottom of the twin plug motor). Every half a rotation, I feel alot of resistance and makes me very hesitant to continue removing it. Could this spark plug been cross threaded? I have left it for the time being, but would like an easy solution if there is one. Thanks.

Thanks, but I already followed that thread, which is how I ended up with my question.

Salazar, even if it is cross threaded, there is nothing you can do to fix it. The only two alternatives you have are to leave it in or take it out. Just make sure the engine is stone cold when you try to remove the plug. Good luck.
