How-to: Reading Spark Plugs
Posted: Wed Mar 07, 2007 9:03 am
Hi all,
There has been some discussion about making up some how to's, so i thought i might run a few things past ya'll..
There is much that can be learned from the art of reading spark plugs and i found some interesting info on the subject... This isn't so much a "How To" as it is links to GREAT information...
First is a link to some GREAT info about very specific plug reading info, including being able to tell were your timing is at based on the plug itself.

Next is a site that is an excellent source for examples of WHAT your looking at... and some explainations of the various problems that can bee seen in reading plugs....

A little blurb from NGK (the only plug i'll use in my Subaru)

Oh, and the link to the Google page i used to get the info in about 5sec

Any mods want to consider sticking this up, please, it's why i made it up...
Thanks,
Aaron
