Default Stuck Spark Plug removal solution

Hey guys,

When doing my MSD i changed the spark plugs. One was stuck and I tried P Blaster, didn't work, then I took canned air, turned it upside down to spray liquid nitrogen on the plug and whacked the socket with a hammer so it might crack the rust and contract the plug threads, then P Blaster. That didn't work. So finally i gave up and i took it to a place to get removed. In 20 mins they had it out with a Breaker bar and a special concoction. The plug was rusted to the head.

Special concoction:
P Blaster and Royal Purple motor oil. They said it is a specific ratio, but didn't tell. Have you guys ever heard of that?

Now that you're running the MSD, you should no longer have problems with stuck plugs. I say this because with the hotter ignition from the MSD, you really need to check the plugs more often than you did with the stock ignition. I also run an MSD ignition so I pull and gap, or replace my plugs every spring and fall. No stuck plugs for me.

Put some anti-seize on the plug threads to prevent future seizure issues.

Or to glue the plugs into the head[&:]
