Much has been on the forum lately about sudden non-starting or bad starting and the like, and to illustrate just how much a modern ignition system can compensate for poor electrode gap have a look at the plug from my 924 turbo which went onto three cylinders suddenly and intermittently yesterday. I mislayed one plug last summer and changed three, meaning to change the fourth plug when I unearthed it. Well it has hung around for so long I forgot it needed doing, what with taking over as R19 r/o and all that, and as a result poor old No2 plug, the B awkward one under the pressure duct got neglected and ended up with the gap you see before you, refusing to fire every time. As you can see the gap is nearly 0.080 inch, when it should be 0.028 inch, or for those who have commited metricide 2.00 mm instead of 0.7

As technical adviser,you should be a "champion" & not admitting to such human faults.Sparks off all sorts of comments too.
 
Perhaps you need to plug the dyke. (Which in this day and age people don't immediately think of a little Dutch boy with his finger in the earth!). (Colin, not really calling you a dyke, you haven't got the hair for it)[:)][:)]

John,
With your photo of the plug and mine of the rotor arm perhaps we should start a Hall of Shame.

Cheers,
 
Fred,
Given your avator,shouldn't it be a shawl of harm?[8|]Personally,I use Bosch Superfour plugs(and in the car as well)-they last at least 24k miles & come out as clean as they went in(in the car of course);not wanting to refer to little Dutch boys,dykes or earth,as rare as it is.
 
As you are talking about Dutch boys I am organising a Manx Tour in September for Porsche Club Holland.

(Just a plug for the event)[;)]

Where do you think we get the experience from? I 'distributed' this information to relieve the 'high tension' that has been building up and 'leading' us around in circles. I don't know where on 'earth' it will end up. I could have 'condensored' the text a little but I didn't want people to lose 'contact' with the thread, and miss the 'points'[:D][;)][:D]
 
A 'spark' of genius in that posting John but I fear it may 'ignite' a 'ground' swell of responses from lesser mortals. Just ensure you have the 'capacity' to 'resist'.
With that I will hand over to the lesser mortals (are you there in Freshfields?)[;)][:)]

Cheers,
 
'Course you can ,Geoff,if only to plug a brand or cap the lot;as they say in Blackpool,Every couple has its moment in a field.In this case we don't know whether a couple exists but a there has been a lot of torqueing.[:)]
 
I think you have 'Shanghai'd my thread, so don't be so 'Denso', that remark doesn't even 'Benloq' here. Anyway I was only jo'NGK'i. [:D] Don't get your plug leads in a twist now that I've mentioned it. I think we should lock this thread as some posters are talking a load of 'Bosch'. If I 'Fozhou' I'd quit while you were ahead.

All names are genuine spark plug manufacturers.[8|]

............... oh, some bright spark who 'Sphinx' it is funny.


But Nutter takes the biscuit for obscure plug makers.

Here's another graphic example. Note the O-ring on the system pressure valve. I hope the missing chunk went down the return line to the tank.
