In the mid 90's a buddy of mine bought a drag sled, thinking he could trail ride it. If he tried to run just plain premium gas, every time he would let off the throttle from a wide open run it would blow the porcelain out of both plugs, if he ran 110 it would not happen. The few rides we went on prior to reducing the cr required pockets full of new plugs.

There is a hole lot of white on those plugs

Ok, the cyl 3 has 10bar compression, wich is 3bar less compared to other cylinders (13bar). Made leakdown test that measured 90%(cold engine) and got more confused.
10 bar = 145psi 13 bar = 188.5 psi |

#1 and #7 look just very slightly on the rich side, but okay. Rest look good. The white on the porcelain is olay also. The porcelain can be one indicator of the correct (or incorrect) heat range of the plug. Jmo.
here's one article that explains some things. There's another i am trying to find that I've seen before that explains things pretty good as well. http://www.4secondsflat.com/Spark_plug_reading.html Attachment 577414 |
