Thread: Spark Plug gapping & washer placement???

Tweet

Thank You Denny & Gassers Rule, hummm, didn't use anti sieze . I have before but not this time... but I do change them when the motor is cold.... Within the next couple of weeks I'm getting a new home computer & I'll post pictures of my plugs & how they look after being gapped. I think I'm doing it correctly...... Although this may be a bigger problem. I always tighten down the plugs snug & then give them one more little push on the rachet. Well this time {on one plug} when I pushed down a little more it all of a sudden got easier as if it stripped out a little..... I just left it 'as is' for now & the car runs fine.... I 'm affraid to take the plug out now..... One of my plug holes {don't know which one, but it was on the end as this one is} had to be repaired when they re-built the motor as it was stripped out. I hope all is well....... Bill

I had to repair a stripped plug hole on one of my cars. Used a heli-coil and after 10 years stil no problems. It does a lasting job when done correctly.
