Ignition coils stuck in spark plug tubes


Recommended Posts

This sounds extremely dumb, but it's true and I'm not sure what to do about it. 

My 2005 v35 skyline was misfiring, found out to be oil in the spark plug holes getting into ignition coils. 

I didn't have the $800 for the genuine valve covers at the time and I read a temporary solution was to use rtv and seal the coilpacks in the spark plug tubes. I don't know if that was a troll but it worked for about 3 months, now it's back misfiring and the one coil I could get out had oil in it. The others I've tried to pull out but the boot is stuck inside the spark plug tube because of the silicon ?

Has anyone ran into this before and any suggestions how I can get it out without damaging the coil boot?

Alright guys, if anyone else has this issue in the future. I bought some CRC Gasket Stripper. Sprayed it down the sides of the spark plug tube let it soak for a minute or two and I could pull the boot straight out. 

Good work, very lucky
