Plug chops

[mick ralph]

As an ex m/cycle (2 stroke) race mechanic I've always relied on this tried and proven method of checking mixture in the combustion chamber. Many years ago I had a bad run with spark plug threads in the Datto A87 head and I was advised NOT to remove spark plugs when the engine is hot as the threads tend to distort and destroy themselves. Is this true? I only ever pull the plugs cold now but i would sorely love to do a few HOT 'plug chops' and have a good look. Also thinking about fitting an 02 gauge any thoughts? cheers Mick     --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
