Default Wish me luck!

Finished the N20 install on Saturday at my future bro-in-law's place and went to change the plugs from TR55s to TR6s. Plug change out went flawless until #8. Seems like it's siezed (yes, I used anti-sieze when I put the 55s in). :( Vette is now in Chicago waiting to be diagnosed tomorrow (plug broke off on removal and no nut to get a grip on). Hopefully they won't give me "pull the head" news and I can squeak out of this one with a few scrapes and bruises. If it's bad news, looks like I'll trailer it to GB and prepare for the top end kit. Keeping the fingers crossed, but the season may be over for me... :sad:

Thanks guys - it was flat-bedded to a dealer and they used a special tool to get it out. No head damage, nothing in the cylinder - whew! :cheers:
