#7 Sparkplug too hot
By John - 09/15/2002 6:57:37 PM; IP 142.177.97.167
I am changing head gaskets in my 428 as one sprung a leak into #2 cylinder. This was probably due to the water getting low from a pin-hole in the rad and the engine overheating slightly. I noticed that #7 Sparkplug is very white while all the others show normal except for #2 which was watery of course. Can a single cylinder like #7 become that much hotter than the others when the coolant is low, or should I look for other troubles with the cam and/or valves? I will see the valves anyway when I change the headgaskets, but I was wondering about the cam...nah!...not that likely...er....I hope.
This thread, so far...
