Default Question about LS

Well its a general question actually. I have a 95 LS and i got some water in where the spark plugs are at. Do you think if maybe I soak it up and dry it, till be ok or are the spark plugs ruined??

dry it up in there, you don't want a spark plug seized into the threads of your head.

I wouldn't try and spare the spark plugs. They are really cheap, so you should replace them anyway as opposed to something worse happening with the engine.

Dry it and they'll be fine.

Water can get in there when cleaning the engine with a compressed air powered spray gun.

It's standard operating procedure at dealerships. I clean my engine bay with one all the time, however my plugs stick sideways out of my engine so it's of no concern to me.
