Ok this is not in my car its with my moms v6 95 camaro.i tought i would get more help in here. it needed new plugs for a while so i decided to changed them . so i pop of the spark plug wired and like WTF . this is first time i checked the spark plugs on her car shes had it for like 3 years now. Any all the plugs are rusted in cant getthem out and 2 of them are real bad. it looks like they melted a bit too. around the nutof the sparkplug and thers rust between the sparkplug and block so i cant even get the socket on the sparkplug.

this car was in north midwest for its first 5 years then she bought it and its been down in the south for 3 years now. maybe the combination of saltly roads up north and salty beach air down here caused this ? O YA its the original spark plugs and the car has 68,000 miles .

try some penetrating oil

Get some PB Blaster and spray them. It is a penetrant/catalyst that should eventually soak into it to help loosen them. It may take a few applications and some time for it to work if they are badly stuck.

what he said...just let it soak in a while

Dont' say that they only have 68k on them. My car has 110 on it and i believe they are the original plugs. I just got msd 8.5 super conductor wires and ngk plugs and i've heard of that happening but i hope mine aren't bad. I was going to change them sooner but people always said don't screw with them or don't do it if you don't have to. I'm going to do them asap.

We used to have an old bronco back in New York that had plugs permanently rusted in caused by salted roads... and maybe partially because of being rolled over in the ocean , so I wouldn't put that past you, thats probably why.

lol i checked the vin number and no major wrecks or water damage i has like 5 title changes thou i bet the 68k miles in not true. but this is the V6 and i sure they came stock with normal 30,000 mile sparkplugs not platiaum 100,000 mile sparkplugs . So i will try the PB Blaster how much for a bottle? .i haven't even tryed any pentrating oil yet .if i get my friends camera ill take a pic and show u all .

I use aero kroil. It is aircraft grade pentrating oil. It works VERY well.

The V6s came with platinum plugs also. Also, the heads are aluminum, so it shouldn't take too much effort to get them off. Breaker bars are your friend.

The V6s came with platinum plugs, but the heads are iron. I know the 3.8s are all iron anyways, not 100% on the 3.4, but I believe they are also all iron.

Dont use too many extensions or wobblies if you can avoid it, especially 3/8 or even more so 1/4 (why someone would do plugs with a 1/4 I have no idea, but I have seen it done ),the smaller and longer an extension is, the more torque you loose at the fastener due to twist of the extension.

Try spraying small amounts of PB blaster on the plugs when the engine is hot. Heat helps the oil absorb more...dont get it on the manifolds though...smoke

When you put the new plugs in, make sure to use some anti-seize. This will prevent this from happening again...just make sure you do not overtorque, which is very easy to do with anti-seize, ESPECIALLY with aluminum heads. Usually just a cinch past snug is more than adequate...I think like 5 or 7 foot pounds max.

If you haven't put a little dielectric grease on the tips of the plugs...will help prevent the tips from sticking to the wire too.
