No compression on cylinder 2. Spark plug tip ain't right... Gnat's headed to Detroit on the Detroit Tuned trailer.
Damn Nate, sorry to hear that. Any idea what's going on? This is what, the second or third time? Time to fix the bottom once and for all. Time for a Stroker.
Wow Nathan that really sucks. Time to build for endurance rather that out right pony power. Hope it is not as bad as it appears. :fingerscrossed:
Darn.... Now the squirrels are going to be staying awhile longer in the Short North.... Squirrel Conspiracy.... I think them critters were somehow involved with this... Sorry for you Nathan... The Gnatster has been living on the bleeding edge too long... Get it fixed and then dial it back to 12....
Sorry to hear that Nathan! And ditch those multi-prong sparkplugs! A paste of well documented common knowledge: Q8. Why do some spark plugs have multiple ground electrodes? A8. This is an attempt by the manufacturers to increase the service life of the spark plug. The ground electrodes can wear down rapidly in some engines. Tiny particles of metal are removed from the ground electrode each time the plug fires hence they gradually wear away. There is a misconception that a multi ground plug will produce mutiple sparks - this is not true, only the nearest electrode to the centre (i.e. currenty the longest) will spark, as that becomes worn, another electrode will become the longest and replace it as the sparking electrode. Q9. Do my multi ground electrode plugs outperform single ground plugs? A9. In most cases, no. The additional electrodes disturb the flow of gases around the spark plug tip and performance may even be reduced. In addition, for high performance applications the additional metal within the combustion chamber will retain more heat and may be more prone to detonation/pre ignition.
This time you should buy and install the correct single prong plugs and connect to the Internet so you can send a file to Jan he can finish tuning your Vipec.
While those multi 21 pronged plugs may not be optimum I'd guess there is other bad Ju-Ju inside that iron lump that contributed to the fark up. Doctor Chad will find them & make them go away.
I'm using Bosch platinum +4 plugs in my motorcycle and I've noticed quicker, easier starts and no fouling, like it did with standard plugs. It's is an improved sparkplug. buncha Luddites!
I've had no problems, ever, with the 4 prong plugs. But I know I'm not running the extreme shizzle some of you kids are.
