Yea I'm not going to ask my engineer again. It sounded sketchy to begin with. I'm dropping the car off to the shop today for fresh paint. gyeah!!!

 

had the same problem with my NGK's, all I can say is invest in a torque wrench

 

Yeah, what would a train driver know about auto engines, anyway?

 

i'd have to agree:
"Plugs were not torqued correctly resulting in poor heat conduction to the head. Plug overheated and also overheated the coil pack."
def. do a leakdown and compression test... if the numbers look good, and runs good, then you were fortunate.

 

How do I run a compression test?
