at least it wasn't my bad advice cooked a motor...
Those bolts are going to be cold welded to get the jug off there...

Unless of course threads were already damaged, like from massive heat etc...lol.

Does a lot of heat soften up the aluminum? I am inclined to think that is what is going on, honestly.

MB's don't break, they give opportunities for upgrades. (that never get done, in my case... one of these days though!)

Makes it stick to the bolts and threads are weakened

Okay, putting on Yellowstone. No more MB stress tonight...

Warpage.... If you can get it apart probably won't go back together but you have parts

@DAMIEN1307 , I am excited to use this plug. I am in no way insinuating that your recommendation damaged my engine. It may have saved me being stranded 7 miles from no where. I'll look into upgrading this single piece cylinder here shortly.
