Re: Removing black grease from a spark plug slot

So how should I remove all that deposit from a sprk plug slot????? Please help.

as jr said they make a spark plug thread chaser... this will remove the carbon deposits on the threads then with the fuse pulled for fuel pump and plugs removed crank engine so as to blow out the crap from cylinder then reinstall plugs.... do this thread chasing to all and torque plugs to 15ft lbs..you want to disable fuel pump so no fuel will enter cylinder when blowing out debris......
