    My friend fucked up. What now

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I was doing a routine spark plug change and while I was doing one side my friend was doing the other. Not till after he got done did he admit that he may have used anti seize instead of electrical grease. Should I just try to get as much out as possible from the coil pack and what would be best for cleaning them out?
    Thanks and from now on no more help from friends :/

    Spray the coil plug boot out with MAF cleaner.

    Were you using anti seize on the plugs and that is why it was laying out? I wouldn't put antisieze on plugs as it can change torque specs. If you are torquing them to spec you won't have issues not getting them back out.

    your friend... it's ok to admit your mistakes, no need to blame imaginary people

    As others have said, spray it out with electrical or maf cleaner. You can swap the bulk out by twisting up a paper towel or even using something like a q-tip. At the end of the day, nothing will be permanently ruined.
