    New kind if spark plugs



    This is what happens when your timing chain skips, your engine throw a couple valves, puts out 25psi of compression.

    M50 time.

    Edit: I mean of spark plugs.

      Damn nasty. I had mine spit a plug at 115mph. Sounded like a tractor and smelled like a huffer's paradise.

      Every day I wake up we drink a lot of coffee and watch the CNN
      Every day I wake up to a bowl of clover honey and let the locusts fly in.
      Lobsterbacks attack the town again
      Wrap all my things in aluminum
      Beams of darkness streak across the sky
      Pink rays from the ancient satellite
      Every time I look out my window same three dogs looking back at me.
      Every time I open my windows cranes fly in to terrorize me.

        Ouch x 2. At least you had a reason to get rid of the Champions and get to the Bosch.

            More like "At least I have a reason to add 2 more cylinders and .7L of displacement"

            It's more then just the plugs.


            Cylinder 1 has 25psi of compression.

                          You didn't take them out either.

                            I've been driving the car for a week. I had purchased these this week and coincidently my engine fucked off the night before I did plan on changing them.

                            I'm pulling the head tonight. You ladies can have a look.
