Everything from non-functional plugs ("hey, it looks perfect, but it just doesn't spark!") to mysterious no-starts ("it started fine yesterday!) to the little platinum speck coming out of the plug ("is there supposed to be something there?") to the ceramic fracturing inside the combustion chamber. That last one cost a buddy of mine a 944 engine. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) He "thought" he had fished all of the pieces out, but one got stuck between the piston and the cylinder surface. Drove it for a bit, and it wound up breaking the cylinder wall!!!! I decline to state how many of these problems have occured to my 914s over the years. (Sometimes it takes me a while to learn, sadly!) --DD |
