did you ever just try screwing an air fitting into the spark plug hole? i think it should just screw in. then hook the the air line to it.

Air fitting threads are tapered and standard, sparkplugs are metric and straight threaded.

Bingo. And if you value your head, you're not screwing in anything that doesn't belong there!

And seeing as how I plan on keeping this in my toolbox at work, that sounds like a great way to ruin a head, cost the shop a few thousand dollars, and lose a paying customer.

Wimp.

Here, let me grab a hammer to get it started! A couple of whacks and a blip from my impact wrench should do it

[devino246]

Hmm, not going. Air hammer should do the trick

I have a nice drilling hammer, affectionately nicknamed "Thor", that would do the job nicely. Only 3lbs. I think, but it packs a nice punch
