Re: Nopi Nationals Sept 24-25 Moroso
I have a Turbonetics T3 Exhaust manifold with the Tial 38mm on the #1 runner. but I've never heard of any DSM's having this issue, Moe runs one on his car, John Lacroix I believe ran one on his car.
Anyrate Just got done warming it up and driving it around the apartment complex.
I swapped the #2 and #3 spark plugs so that way the #2 would be grey and to black so I could see if there was any change. I also verified that the #2 spark Plug was firing off the #3 coil to make sure the coil pack wasn't the problem - When I got back the #2 spark plug which was grey was starting to go black, and it was definetely wet, but I don't think it was gas. (the smell of Gas wasn't there, or at least wasn't the smell of pure gas like when you pull and injector)
The #3 spark plug was still black as hell but I never got on it, and was just a quick off boost drive around the 2 building that are adjacent to mine.
I also cleaned off the Valve cover throughly that way I can see where the oil is coming from. And at idle it started to collect on the inside of the spark plug well, on the bottom bolt closest to the cam gear cover. I want to let you guys know that the Valve cover bolts on the outside row closest to the Cam gear cover do not tighten down. The threads must be stripped But I haven't messed with it to see if I can re-tap the holes. But all the inside sparkplug well bolts, and every other outside Valve cover bolts tighten down, which is why I haven't messed with it didn't think it would be an issue, and wasn't an issue till all this started happening.
I checked the torque of the Head studs all of them are/where tighened to 100ft/lbs (as John said they should be) and all the valve springs/rockers, etc all looked to be in place and operating correctly I saw nothing out of place.
