"If it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have had no luck at all" When I pulled out the 2nd spark plug wire from the block where it connects to the plug I snapped the wire connection off the wire. Changed the wire out but when I went to install the plug I must have stripped the threads in the block. I thought I could work a new spark plug back and forth with a little tapping oil on the threads but I guess I got ham handed and reefed on it till it jammed. Like an idiot I kept on going. The plug is now most of the way but sticks out about 3/4 " proud of the other plugs! To fix this I guess I'm going to have to pull the head to do it. I was going to run the motor to see if the head gasket was still leaking. My question is would I still get proper spark with the plug most of the way in just to see if I have head gasket leaks then shut it down and pull the head.
