Yea, the hole has similar melt damage as the plug. Last night when I first discovered this problem I put in a different plug. The plug threaded in effortlessly. I fired her up, and she ran on all 4, but it didn't sound quite right, almost like a knock, but not... This afternoon I fire her up again, SHWOOSH, SHWOOSH, with 3 cyls firing and the 4th coming & going every few revs... Well, I guess that answered my question about the head. I couldn't see a thing from looking in, so I took about 15 or so pictures of the hole. I got one picture that had enough light and I could see the damage (the picture I uploaded). Looks like I'll have to pull the head (again) and fix/replace it depending on how it looks after CLOSE inspection.
I also took the plug around to a few different shops I know around town today. All but one of the shop owners said "Shit, I've never seen one like that before..." The local VW/import (not rice) shop owner put on his reading glasses, looked it over for a few seconds, and said "Yea, I've seen something like that before." I'll let you guys guess on what could have caused it before I say what John (shop owner) said he thought could have caused this. FUN, FUN, FUN! Any one notice these cars lead to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)? -Kevin |
