AFM went bust?

there your problem
dinner is ready
cooked spark plugs hope you like it extra well done.


toppings include gas a little bit of oil :S the plug is
("dry but cooked ")

it got so hot the Iridium electrode melted to the ceramic

this shit can't get any worse someone threw a couple of eggs at my hyhoe


they made a mistake by not doing other cars as well so you know it was targeted I know who did it

 

[BG1988]

Put a new plug she fired right up smooth


still no over 3k rpm damn you TB

I’d be curious as to why that plug looked so bad.

Get all the egg cleaned off your Tahoe?

yeah did


i could not tighten down the spark plug hand tightened ( the bolt part is smaller then the original plug) i hope it does not unscrew it self

maybe that is normal as the original plug came out super easy as well like hand tight

That doesn’t sound right. I’m assuming you have aluminum heads. I’d check to make sure your threads aren’t stripped out.

it went in smoothly it does not keep spinning


the socket can't reach the nut
it was able to reach the original nut not the replacement as it's shorter
the nut on the 41-985 is about 1/4" longer


it's the correct part as well # 41-162 the original part was 41-985

Ok, I misunderstood when you said the bolt part was smaller, thinking the threaded portion.

I would think a spark-plug socket would be long enough to engage the hex of the plug. Not sure I’d be comfortable with a plug that is only finger tight. Good luck and hope it holds for you. I’m still curious as to why your plug was so dirty. How many miles on that plug?

99.5k miles just short by 500 miles on the 100,000 miles claim


the nut is slightly bigger and extends up the plug

the new one is a design fail yeah i'm using a sparkplug socket i'll try another deep socket i have
