I have tried to replace the original sperk plugs that where VERY rusted in. The spark plug on cyl #1 and #2 broke off but I was able to remove the leftovers with a bolt remover.
On the cyl #3, the bolt remover broke in the spark leftover and I cannot extract it.
How much (labor and parts) would be to replace the whole cyl head for a V8 5L engine?
