Its all the way around the plug? How the heck did you do that?
Forget the vacuum idea, I don't think Stormy Daniels could suck that out of there!
That plug is permanent now, unless you have dental tools …

What are those pics of? Is it wedged against the spark plug,? You screwed the pooch on this one, were going to have to go mid evil on that sucker. You may have to get it up in pieces. Looks like somehow it's wedged in there. Nothing's impossible, just got to be a little more clever now.

Fudge!!! idgaf. can i really just put the coil on top and call it a day. My uncle is a mechanic too. he can probably **** around with it for 3hrs and get it out. Dental tools? supper slim. might even have space to dig at it with the endoscope in there too.

yeah i know i fudge that up reall good. but now im looking under the engine. and my oil pan and only certain lines are swamped in oil. its late now. i will take pics of my leaking oil.

my overdrive its out too. grinds trying to shift to OD and wont even shift into it. that why i stopped driving it plus it was winter and heater was out. this is a texas truck. im in chicago. frame is very good conditions compared to my dads 04 xlt. so. i dont mind having it parked rn. ima get my civic running at this point. darn it.

thanks to all you guys. didnt think i would get so many replies. ill start comming in here more often. for what its worth, i got the truck for $3k with 120k. i have to get the air bag conversion done too. rides super bumpy right now. this will be a fun project. lmfaoo does the Upgrade Oil pump fit in these trucks?.

Why not just leave it there. Put a new oring or injector with the oring, and call it a day. You can mash a spark plug socket over it and the plug, when you want change out that plug. Sounds like you got more problems than a silly o ring. Worse case scenario, you might smell some burning, but with everything else your posting, that's nothing.

Why not remove the spark plug? It looks like it is just above the flats of the plug.
the socket still spins around and doesnt grip the thread thing, its not a deep well socket. its only got like 1/2" deep before it hits the magnet opening or whatever its called. . i might be able to get a feel for it. and then force the sockey with downward pressure to remove and let it drop it.

It would melt & be a mess, it would prevent socket from seating
