Sometimes things actually work out...

No special trickery, no chemicals, hand extracted with a 3/8 ratchet.

Perhaps I should buy a lottery ticket or two.

The trick is to have a motor with bad valve gaskets. They leak oil onto the plugs. No rust! No fuss!

Lucky man! In Europe Ford engines are notorious for rotting sparkplugs. Rain comes in through the windowwasher mounts and pools at the plugs

They're just as problematic on my side of the big pond. ;-)

Do people really have trouble removing sparkplugs? I just put a spot of engine oil on the threads and I've never had a problem removing them

These like to break, and leave the smooth metal portion in the head. Where it takes special extraction tools to get them out.

Always found that amusing. The 3V break off and the 2V won't stay in.
