| Description of the problem | The #3 spark plug was ejected from the engine block. Upon inspection, the threads were stripped and damaged beyond belief. After tapping the whole, the plug was able to be replaced. A month later, the #7 plug did the same thing being ejected from the engine. Another round of fixing but this time the repair was not successful. The new plug did not stay in. Both of the old plugs are in pieces with most of the parts lost to the roadway below. |
