Hey again guys, some of you may have notice a thread by me earlier today, hower I was in the process of doing a compression test on my 7, then when i took off the coil plug i relise that the spark plugs are SUCKED or sunken into the housing. I tried using a spark socket to get it out but the socket couldnt get hold of the spark, as you can see from the picture the nut threat on the spark have gone too deep in the housing not allowing any of that nut shape to go into my socket. Anyone know what the hell happened? BTW whats that un-used hole with the thread? just above the top plug.

thats the way the housing is designed... it's fine.. you might need a thin wall socket to get them out.
the unused hole is for a knock sensor. |
You have the EGV spark plugs, they require a thin wall spark plug socket as mentioned. Nothing out of the ordinary...

FYI at the spark plug phase there better be pressure, not suction.

Mazda did that so you would have to use NGK long body plugs. You can also use plugs with a 5/8 hex with no problem. Or use the thin wall plug socket from Racing Beat. I grind off the eyebrow so I can use any damn plug I want to. Lynn E. Hanover http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/7999/picture007ahl.jpg [img=http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/345/picture009.jpg] |
