The Westy puked a plug and I tried JB Weld to hold it in but that didn't work....Just need to drive it back to the shop across the lake of course (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)
PO had stripped the plug and I knew it wasnt the best, got new heads and all ready to go in. Any ideas???? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/WTF.gif) |

Sounds like you have a cracked head... Cracked heads can't hold a spark plug in them when the engine heats up and the head expands...
If JB Weld won't hold it pretty much nothing will... don't use JB KWIK- its not real and not worth a damn. Old school JB weld in the red and black package is the real stuff and it will hold most anything if it cures for 24 hours... Running on 3 cylinders taxes the entire engine and will generally cause more issues and wear more parts. |
