hi, what do you mean by force your spark plug?

[Ironstarz]

they anyhow screw in the plug, there is suppose to be a threading to follow but they did not. instead they were lazy and anyhow screw in

hi, i went to a workshop in jb once, following my fren, somewhere near to the jb Carrefour super market, forgotten the street name and the workshop name....did my brake pad replacement (original part) very good price and is in RM.

Start threading on the wrong thread - resulting in cross thread. Very difficult to repair damage alum head spark plug threads unless the mech have the necessary skills and right repair materials and tools.

don't be surprised that some Malaysian mechs working here do this also.

Any mech you find along the way in JB is capable of providing simple services like oil/filter change, plugs change, brake pads change, wheel balance, rotation, alignment.

 

If you are planning to go for major service like changing timing belt, transmission overhaul, etc, i suggest you get it done in Singapore. When shyt happens, it's easier for u to go bang table.

It's best to clean up the spark plug thread with a chaser before putting in the new plugs. Presence of carbon & dirts can cause cross threads especially so with deep spark plug openings and hot cylinder heads.

is it possible to DIY clean with a cloth and an agent, e.g kerosene?

There is no way to chase out the carbon deposits and dirts with a piece of cloth - it may creat more problem.

Hmm.. i see.. i guess i need to take a look at my sparkies soon. The mech used an air wrench to screw in my sparkies. I hope the thread is not damaged.

That would be a shop I avoid. I would never use air tool on a spark plug, only use hand tool.

You're right. And I'm not going back to them.
