plug fell out, precautions prior to installing?
alexander-vmann:
starting to wonder what plug i should get, i got a manual for a 93 model wich says b8eg/br8eg is standard, but my engine is a 87 mod, so wich plug would i be best of with? and does the air temprature have anything to say for heat range of the plug? it's a lot colder here in the winter :|
alexander-vmann:
i took of the tank and used a flashligth to look at the threads, thay seem fine just a bit brown at the bottom but the plug is supposed to be brown so i dont think thats unnormal, i should get a br8eg in the mail tomorrow, and maybe be ready for the track at thursday...hopefully :roll:
Foxx4Beaver:
you should be all set....you said you were able to screw the old one back in without any resistance...you'll be good.
alexander-vmann:
so i got the new plug today and i dont understand this gap thing, in the manual it says it's supposed to be 0.5mm but that can't be rigth? it would weld itsself shut? so i just installed the plug without gaping it and it was a bitch to start, temprature was about 17-20 celcius so it migth be a bit rich but still
Foxx4Beaver:
gap should be .024....or 0.6mm to 0.7mm.
