Spark Plug Pictures
Finally found my camera charger so here we are. Pictures from a Nikon D60 with a AI'd 55mm f/2.8
One of the 3 plugs that didn't break https://farm6.static.flickr.com/5058...87690c9b_b.jpg The weld on this nut broke off on 2 of the other plugs https://farm6.static.flickr.com/5100...895f1c35_b.jpg Missed focus on this one, sorry for the hair too https://farm6.static.flickr.com/5018...5522fbff_b.jpg Broken https://farm6.static.flickr.com/5092...d2848eb6_b.jpg https://farm6.static.flickr.com/5131...b3f2cfe3_b.jpg Tip https://farm6.static.flickr.com/5134...f8cc8699_b.jpg https://farm6.static.flickr.com/5093...5eb498bc_b.jpg My elaborate studio haha https://farm6.static.flickr.com/5256...be1420f3_b.jpg |

From some of the stories I've read that not too bad actually
|
Yeah it was around normal from what I've heard. Just a lot more than I wanted to spend at that time
|
Doesn't the gap look to be way too big what it should be?? When I replaced my plugs they looked 'in tact' but the gap was over twice the specified range. I'd say it's a good thing you did em now, despite tearing up a couple

Trent, is it possible for you to get a side shot of the electrodes like this? http://bob-ayers.smugmug.com/Other/F...1_FB7JW-X3.jpg If you can, we can compare your plugs to new ones. |
Yeah I can Bob, I'll grab it a little later.

Crazy they broke. All that rust is horrible. Water in fuel?

mine were kinda rusty aswell
|
Water vapor is a by-product of combustion. I assume the water vapor gets between the GND shield and head, and the GND shield rusts. Putting the nickel anti-seize on the GND shield should help.

Check this out! Tis is a different approach to removing the 5.4L plugs!
You crack them loose, put the coils back, and rev the daylights out of the engine! http://www.mpt.org/motorweek/goss/3002.shtml |
Hmm, I would love to hear some real-world results of trying that.
