Previous owner or mechanic had over tightened the plug and now i have to deal with it. so far I've bent three 1/8th inch pieces of metal two quarters etc..ect...

That sucka was stuck on there. Scraped a little metal but not to bad. won't be putting it back on that tight. Plan on doing valve clearance wanted to make sure i was at TDC. Man that was a PITA

Maybe he didnt notice the O-Ring? Nice thing is, now ya got a tool to wheel it outta there nice & easy.

Can't believe how hard that thing was to get off. scuffed it up pretty bad :'( .At least my valves are up to spec. What a difference I just didn't relize how bad they were until I adjusted them. Didn't do the decomp cable adjustment wasn't sure how to get the little piston thing out, every stroke it seemed that it never moved. Guess i'll save that one for a l8ter date.
