Or you be garang and don't change, take them out and gap them to the correct gap size and continue driving for another 10k. Rinse repeat until there is almost no more head left on the spark plug. laugh.gif

 

You need a spark plug gapping tool for this.

 

Hmmm....more tools to make a man feel like man.....sly.gif

Yo ! That is a No No to grease your plugs ! High temperature grease or not, nothing can withstand the kind of heat that would be put up from the combustion chambers ! In my many years of automotive working, never heard of putting high temperature grease onto the plugs ! The grease would eventually burn and freeze the plugs if you don't remove them on time.

 

Just use a new set of plugs or make sure the old one is very clean....use a wire brush to get rid of all the carbon build up on the thread.

The grease to use is comma copper ease, a very high temperature grease you smear sparingly on the thread of the plug to prevent seizure the next time u remove the plug. BTW, this stuff is also good for applying on the backside of brake pads to prevent squeals.

To destress the copper washer ( to make it soft) just heat up with a butane torch or do it at your gas cooker - then let is cool down. This way you need not have to replace the copper washer for a long time.

 

Appreciate very much for your support - Thank You !!

IMHO, I don't think that these "professionals", that you are referring to, are following the recommended Torque when they tighten the plugs shakehead.gifshakehead.gifshakehead.gif
