loose spark plug (1 Viewer)

[codybill]

thought I had blown my head gasket, heard a pop then all hell broke loose, sounded like my exhaust was coming straight off the block it was so loud, no blue smoke though. upon further inspection I found the spark plug loose in my #1 cyllinder, plug wire was bent and real messed up, need to get an extension so i can get the plug out to check the threads. Anyway thats where I'm at with it, I would appreciate any helpful advice. Going to have to "shade tree it" myself.

Whoa!

I have nightmares about a sparkplug backing out, even though I've never experienced it.

Hang in there, see what's up, and post up pic's of what you find. We've got your back.

D'oh! They make inserts for that, you might need a set.

FWIW. Check your jack tools . You hopfully have a factory spark plug wrench in there. Kinda looks like a breaker bar with the hex end and holes in the side on the other end. Then there is a little angled pry bar deal that fits through those holes. Voila factory spark plug tool!!!

Idk about the wire without inspection. But good time to change it all!
