Thu Aug 10, 2017 8:25 pm

Get home from work today and find some random stuff by my front door. Weird. I have found notes, beer, travelers, tools, beer, cats, eclipse glasses, beer, racoons, Skill's rubber and soiled speedo. but never random parts. Someone stop by for a tune up :-k
Very random.

keep looking. I left a used rubber on the light by the garage and had a shart, so I discarded my soiled speedo in the bush by the porch

Just more proof of VW people being cheap asses.. Only dropping off used tune up parts, condoms and sharted in thongs...

So typical... :lol:

What you haven't figured out yet is where they got the replacement parts from.

Fri Aug 11, 2017 1:44 pm

whomever did it, the one on the left is showing signs it seized coming out.

Fri Aug 11, 2017 3:20 pm

We got tired quick so we just did one on each side. Figured that's good for a few years right?

Aeromech, check my "on the road to" thread in my sig, just got home to!

Is that plug on the left leaking between the porcelain and steel on the outside?
Or is that overspray from the shart?

I think Xevin got The point

been seeing that a lot lately. pretty sure it's from running too hot. I especially see it on boosted cars, and NGK's seem to be worse than others.

it wasn't shart juice. it was one of those crop duster farts. sadly it had a big report at the end, hence the skivvies in the bushes

run them hot enough the glue melts. A couple well known racing teams used to set the mixture on their engines before wide band gauges by watching for the spot where the glue just began to ooze. Mac Tilton, who built Paul Newman's winning cars told me that. My understanding is that he didn't have the skivvy problems you all seem to have when your plugs are hot.

Well..... even coverage and distribution counts for bonus points even if it was semi accidental, nice work!

mark, I had to laugh...just watched "death car on the freeway" and thought of you and your f'n dodge :lol:
