Been staying inside mostly, this southerner doesn't go north further than 1/2 a day horse ride of I-10 except to see the in-laws (really means my wife makes me).
Changed the plugs and #4 was corroded to all get out. The seal below the threads has a gap in it. Hard to unscrew. Blew air in to clean everything. New plug went in rather smoothly, surprise! Started and vehicle ran smooth! A little rough at first start-up, but smoothed out and idles as should. Had iridium plugs in the kick and I replaced with same.
Could this have been caused by a gasket leak?
#3 plug had what looks like burned carbon build up on it.
# 1&2 looked well used.
Smoked, but exhaust still smelled more normal to me. The coolant is staying in the radiator and has pressure. It built pressure from start until I could get to radiator to get cap off, and yes I was splattered!! DUH a Sr moment!.
Ill see what changes this causes with a little driveway time.
Thanks.
Hoopt.
