Okay I decided to change out my plugs. I was running lean & hot. Joe suggested a cooler plug going from a ngk 6 to an 8. So I pulled my plugs to replace them with the new ones. One came out a little hard. I thought the thread were buggered up as the new plug wouldn't start. Turned out there was a heliCoil/ cert in the plug. Anyway I went to the auto parts store & picked up a tap to clean up my threads. One of the guys called to tell me about the Heli coil. I do vaguely remember having that put in a while back. While at the autoparts store I picked up a new heli coil along with the tap I was getting. In trying to clean out the threads I failed to realize I got a tap for the size of the plug (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . Which the tap decided to go through the hole I presented to it. Since it was bigger than the tap the tap went into my combustion chamber (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . Once again I turned a simple job into an enormous PITA. After multiple attempts with a magnet to grab & pull it out of the whole. I got lucky & was able to get it out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) . That was amazingly lucky (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) . Put the new plug in with a cert & started it up. I was a little to tentative in cranking it down. So a ways down the road it blew out. Actually it backed itself out. While a little freaky it was no problem. Other than burning my finger on the hot plug anyway (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) . The rest of the drive went well. My car still runs on the hot side of things. Need to do some more adjusting.
The 2 downsides with it all. Making everyone wait on me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . Second was I had Jim come down who is considering buying the LE. Not exactly a strong selling point having issues (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Another classic 914 event for Mr Rust (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
