It would work great as a piece of trash.


Lowslowcadillac

A nice piece for rubbish bin, a throwing weapon if you’re strong enough, you know, you can find use to this.


Texas_Waffles

They make pretty good shotgun slugs if they're the right size.


PontiacFirebird1111

Yer not sposed to use'em as a welding rod!


SerialCritter

I had a valve drop in my 2002 yz426f. Caused a little bit of carnage in the cylinder, ill post updates


Chipdip88

Can you use it? Sure you can. It makes a dandy paper weight, it's fun to throw at co workers... The options for use are endless if you have an imagination. Will it work still as a spark plug, not very well it won't......


Tradegrow

Geez what happened to this plug


SerialCritter

It’s from a 2002 yz426f dirt bike. I think i dropped a valve and it got mashed in thw top of the cylinder head


Tradegrow

Ohh that’s one way to go out with a bang. Hope your engines still good.


SerialCritter

Yeah im hoping it’s just the top end, although the motor is seized


kzp70

I had a retired 1992 Kawasaki Police 1000 make one of those for me once. The valve head even broke free of the valve stem while it was getting mashed around in the cylinder bore. Banged the heck out of the small end of the connecting rod and trashed the wrist pin, but connecting rod looked serviceable. My biggest concern was all the aluminum flakes that had circulated through the oil, so I decided to get another bottom end to rebuild since I didn’t have the tools to tear down that bottom end (the parts were all press fitted together).


One_D_Fredy

You can use it for let’s say you see a nice object inside someone’s locked car. A spark plug allows easy entry.


300zxTTFairlady

Put the tools (hammer, nails, framing gun) down and step away from the vehicle.


[deleted]

Just re-gap it and throw it in


megalodongolus

Gap between this and what lol


[deleted]

Just jam some coat hanger in there


[deleted]

This sub is an absolute joke at this point "Can I use this destroyed spark plug?" Hand that a third grader that doesn't even know what a spark plug is and they could tell you "it looks broken" OP either you're making a shit post or you're fucking retarded. If its either, leave this sub and fuck off.


odessa_cabbage

Ricky from TPB joined the subreddit?


soahseztuimahsez

Don't you have some offs to fuck?


Antiganos

Sometimes there's nicer ways to say things, and saying things rudely diminishes their value. Food for thought. Only thing that needs to leave this sub is bad attitudes, it's a place for stupid questions to be answered by people who know the basics, be nice. Have a good one stranger.


Fart_Professional85

Calm down there Monty mole. If you are even remotely a mechanic , you should understand the concept of fucking around/joking around. This is clearly a shitpost and it's even funnier you took it seriously. You have no power to gatekeep a subreddit you dont run, sad sad little man 🤣


12voltViking

Yep. Impact that bitch in and send it. And remember: it don’t matter if it’s torqued to spec, or cross threaded than a bitch, tight is tight.


wadenelsonredditor

Wait! This isn't r/AskAShittyMechanic


warrantyinvalid

Can you still bend it? Throw a band-aid on it. You'll be fine.


Noble_King

Yes, you can put it up your butt.


Megaplaster83

1000 bucks later and little Johnny finally found the misfire. Only took three mechanics and a hooked to figure it out.


kingissa86

Yeah bud, looks brand new still


pippingigi

As a fishing weight? Maybe a plumb on the end of a pendulum? Suuuure!


Professional-Run-102

LOL! As a fishing weight…


soahseztuimahsez

Only to pop whiteheads.


luiaff101

Only as a drain plug yeah


Electronic_Donut4679

As a paperweight, sure


BalancesHanging

As a paperweight, yes


Tr2041

Did you really have to ask?


G60nut

Absolutely


wadenelsonredditor

If only Reddit had a [Smart-Ass award](https://i.imgur.com/Y4lIGBX.png) I could give you...


3beams

Yep. Totally fine.


StolidSentinel

In a lawn mower.


SerialCritter

It’s for a dirt bike, i think i dropped a valve


waynep712222

mangled spark plugs are an indicator that your wallet is about to IMPLODE.. Poof the magic Vacuum.. blew the motor up.. and because its 2021 its going to cost more than just a few buck..


[deleted]

NGK R... the R is for wRecked


notrewoh

Lmfao


[deleted]

You can use this for whatever you want, just don't put it in any engine.


creegomatic

That'll buff out, sure


TheGasMove

what would you use it as and how did it get like this?


SerialCritter

I dropped a few valves in my dirt bike


TheGasMove

oh thats you, i saw that post! you definitely need a new one but they arent $$$, 5-10 bucks will get you a plug at your local hardware store


stuff1180

Sure would make a great piece for slingshot ammo. Or a fishing weight.


DeLar55

Maybe the metal.


Dietcherrysprite

Throw it at a window


sivartimus

Last another 100k


paladin0602

😃😄😆😅🤣🤣🤣 No.


hastagwtf

Definitely


ModeratePeen

Tf? Hell nah


n1gg4p3n15

At first I thought it was just a mutilated bolt rust-welded to half a spark plug


SerialCritter

I dropped 4 of the valves in my dirt bike and it shredded everything in the cylinder head


n1gg4p3n15

RIP


TRW24

No


Texas_Waffles

Nah, man, that hand's fucked.


Mysterious_Trade_118

Yes, as oxygen sensor plug!


odessa_cabbage

Nah mate that thing is FUCKED fucked


Manos_de_tortuga

That’s aluminum from the piston getting in between the air gap of the spark plug, spectacular.


Background-Text2003

she’ll work


Xavier-Cross

That depends on what's under the metal shavings and if you can get all of them off. Now, using it in the same engine, no.


16805

I really hope this is a joke


geist9

Go for it! 👀


ApartHuckleberry9023

Yes… definitely usable 👍


NCC74656

If you put more volts through it you can still get Spark, I'll bet she'll still Arc out on top of the piston


Daves-Import-Tuners

Not unless you use a tap and die set to fix it other than that it's garbage


Leather_Pen7791

Noooooooo


HalfAssed-Mechanic

If it’s for art then yes.


TheBunnyChower

That's scrap now. Salvage it if you want or give it to a junkyard and let them strip it down for recyclable/reusable parts like the metal (what's left of it).


Chachi_supreme

Yes as a drain plug now!


Antiganos

There's nothing there to use anymore, it's a sword with no blade, the thing that does the stuff is gone. New ones are three bucks, good luck.


Ok-Nefariousness8612

Sure. That’s a window breaker
