Xevin, those are T1 plugs. Brush them off and use them in your new Bug when the others get stolen in crescent city, ca on the drive up here. I mean, my plugs have about 40k on them, and won't be coming out until the crankshaft sharts, so they definitely aren't mine.

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. _________________ “Most people don’t know what they’re doing, and a lot of them are really good at it.” - George Carlin |

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