hey there guys, i just cleaned my spark plugs(NGK bkr6e-11) and then put them back in, right ...
so its all good.......... then 2 days after i opened my engine and found out that one of the spark plug leads (the end one) popped out/up....high enough so it wasnt making contact with the spark plug, so therefore i was runnning on 3 cylinders
but then i popped it back it, and a day later, did the same thing....... so i went out and bought some new ones(bosch), and put them in, and ok they were good, so i took out the spark plug in the chamber that kept popping out and just observed what the deal was........ couldnt allocate any problems at all........ so popped it back in
and back to step 1, kept popping out.......any ideas what the problem is???
as i want to run on 4 cylinders instead of 3 argh..........
could this be a result of a crappy spark plug lead, i have had them since 3 years ago on my d16a8...........and does leads(NGK, Magnacor), increase horsepower??..... and i realised a really sluggish downgrade from NGK spark plug to a bosch...... :shock:
another problem is my radiator, ok my car has done 250,000km and a 1991 SI model, and yep still the same original radiator 13 years ago, so at the moment i can see its leaking on the top.......i think the seal is broken, but my question is, better to replace/fix it, buy a new one?? or 2nd hand one??........ upgrade the cooling to a bigger radiator??? if so whats a good place to do it in brissie?? anyone have any recommendation??
thanks
