Default Hmmm...not so great...

Thought I'd give the plugs a quick check this morning...





Arse.

Ordered new ones but they prob won't arrive until weds/thurs.

I don't know how long they've been like that. It's been running fine since Oct with them in and not used the NOS for a good few months.

I don't want to think about cylinder walls and valves at the moment...

I think you can safely say they are trashed, I,ve got a set down the backstreet garage you can borrow if you need them before Thurs

That'd be dead handy if you're around?

If not I can use the MX5 until they turn up.

I'm just surprised it still ran ok with no misfire codes being shown.

I'm surprised too

Do you think thats the extra heat from the NOS?

I've never changed mine to check, dealer has done it a couple of times i think

what would cause that to happen ? I'm thinking if the car runs fine with plugs like that then that would indicate a healthy engine surely. You say you havn't used nos for a while, would the nos have done that ?

I'm almost certain of it.

Although why just 2 and 4 I'm not sure. I do know the NOS is running very rich though. Although I'd expect that to be cooler than if it was running bang on to be honest.
