hey guys, you all know that I have NGK wires and plugs but lately I noticed a miss that has been getting worse.
So I picked up some new plugs (NGK of course) and pulled into my new garage (I luv it) and started to swap out the plugs. Well after a lot of trial and error I noticed that the "shafts " that go into the heads had major cracks down them (only the ones submerged in oil though) so for a temporary "fix" I used 600 volt 3/4" heatshrink tubing over the shafts taht were cracked. That wasnt the only problem though the cracked shafts also had the little "boots" fall off them and stick in the holes. after fishing them out and fixing the shafts I am now waiting on a response from NGK "tech support" for news on replacement hopefully they have some sort of customer service and take care of me I dont have any paper work on them but I remember spending @100.00 on them so I'll let you all know

This is on your KLZE? Does this engine have VC problems like on the others?

That sucks. Too bad we can't call it a "Ford" problem since the engine is jap.

If they do anything it'll be because they're a nice company. If you let the valve covers leak oil onto the wires, which is a known factor in deteriorating them, then it's not really their fault...

I wouldn't be surprised if they tell you "sorry" and then get you a good deal on a new set, at best.
