RE: Spark plug popped out of cylinder #2 and wont go back in ??

Guys,I never had the coils off of the plugs before.
Do I just take off the coil and then re-torque the plug?
What ft-lbs number do you recommend for the spark plug?

Thanks

Any parts store, they telescope and the tip is usually 360 degree adjustable.

Hmmmmmm did anyone here read this part: the bottom of the plug where you gap it at was smashed in.

I hate to say it but unless that happened when the plug flew out your piston hit that plug and knocked it out OR piston hit valve and valve hit plug. That happened to my stock motor. I hope im wrong but it sounds like you stretched a piston. When my mechanic saw it he said "Yep #2 is the usual suspect". For some reason that cylinder has issues.

The bottom of the plug being smashed in? Sounds like you had some sort of contact in there.
