I am happy to inform you, that this will be the last post in the series of 3 for your votes of pity. 🙂 I will naturally keep bugging you with these fuckers as long as there is a catch in it to advance in game.

On to off-game related topic.... FUCK FUCKITY FUCKFUCKFUCK!!!

If someone is a DIY-type and is familiar with changing spark plugs on an engine, get ready for teeth grinding action.
I bought a rusty old chevrolet (no, not the song on a single but GO AHEAD AND PLAY IT, SUITES PERFECT!) and it had some bad sparks in it when I got it. Seller also mentioned that they should be changed. He did not mention why he hadn't changed them himself, but I have learned recently that it was either huge wisdom, or lack of knowledge in removing broken bolts...

I bought a set of plugs and cables and started working on my V6. 3 plugs in front and 3 WAY back...

So I needed to loose the engine to make clearance on the back candles. Tried the frontal ones before digging in the hard ones, and noticed that one was brutally forced on wrong threads. Well I got THAT off... but there was his siamese brother with cicilian dialect in the back row, and it gave me the finger big time.
I have never seen anything remotely this fucked up... ever!
The ceramic on the plug snapped with the collar that holds against the tool.
So what I have left in the engine block is a few rounds of threads with a hollow hole in the middle and nothing more... I got the ceramics left in the engine off by simply turning the key and letting the compression blow it off for me.
I slept on the issue overnight to come up with some brilliant ideas, but so far I have the same methods in my head and not confident that any will help.

So. If someone is interested in V5 chevy, or is a sensei on martial arts of bolt removing - holler me bitch.

I've made a prediction: this won't be your "last post in the series of 3 for your votes of pity". I have a feeling that this article will be mysteriously deleted...

ps. If you didn't get it, articles containing swear words tend to be removed by moderators.

You need to take the whole head off and fix the threads properly.
At the same time you will change the lower intake manifold gasket, which is weak link in these engines, together with the head gaskets, I recommend changing them both while the engine is apart. Not a big job, just make sure the push rods comes back to same exact spots. And pay attention in tightening every bolt to correct torque.
