spark plugs

[darrsi]

I find that a lot of crap tends to gather around the plugs on the fazer so I tend to remove and clean the plugs every few months to avoid this problem happening. I'd personally always do it with a cold engine and use the loosen a bit, tighten a bit method.

"..loosen a bit, tighten a bit.."


It must take you weeks to change your plugs

I'd prefer to spend the extra minute tightening and loosening stuburn bolts, screws, plugs etc than an hour drilling them out

I always put a little engine oil round the threads before sticking them in.


Not my idea, a motor mechanic I knocked around with always did this, he took the dip stick out of the engine and dribbled the oil on the threads so I thought if HE's doing it, must be OK...

Like i said, it's all about not abusing them.
Do them up as much as you can with your fingers to avoid cross threading, then just nip them up.
I handle film cameras at work with tiny screws so i s'pose i've learnt not to be heavy handed at all.
