How to remove a head block

[Sniperdude]

Hey again, I pulled out my spark plugs and wire yesterday and changed them with new NGK's .44 gap and new wires, but in the second cylinder, there was one old plug I couldn't get out because the ring on the plug was stripped, so I need to remove my head block to get that one bad plug out.

So, how would I go about removing the head block?

lol... first of all there are 2 heads and a block. not a head block.
second... go to a mechanic who isnt a moron.

Er, the top of the engine where the sparks are housed, i just need to get to the bottom of it, so I can unscrew the spark from there.

what is your engine code? what year is your camry? generation? have you searched the site?

its nice to have a Hanyes manual for reference when your working "in" your engine, not just "on" it. and if the plug is stripped you might have to get a machine shop to tap and pull it out. good luck

you have to remove the cylinder head. It sounds like ti may be a good idea to to take it to a shop if you are not mechanically inclened to take the cylinder head off. Basically you are going to be doing a head gasket job

If you don't really know what you're doing, I would take it to a mechanic... The pressure is off of you and they are faced with problems everyday.. Whereas you mess something up urself then you'd be into more money and time..

why does your title say 1mz 3.0 if you drive a 2.2 5sfe???

It was a mistake I made when I signed up, where can I change that?

ask yourself this: can i remove my cams and valves check gap and put them back on without sweating?

if the answer is no, go to a workshop to get it done.

while youre at it change the timing belt, pump and anything else you can think of while the engines 1/2 apart.
