Anyone evr had a spark plug back out?
I'm half way between Summerville And Walterboro and I hear a horrible noise...sounds like exhaust leak from hell...pop hood and #8 plug is missing and wire is dangling...I did plugs last weekend and tightened them down pretty good with no anti seize....so I just pulled the injector connection off to keep fuel from spraying and drove the rest of the way...

are you using the correct kind of plugs? if you are, i would say you just didnt tighten that one.

this one i KNOW i tightened bc after running it around the block after changing the trans fluid i noticed the wire was moving while the engine idled bc the plug had gotten loose...so i tightened it down again...im hoping the threads arent fucked....i do have another set of heads that i wanted to get ported before i threw them on....maybe i should let it run and get warm then retighten..i guess stuff expands and all

replace the plug with a new one... it wouldnt be surprising to have a bad plug out of the 938427529384752938475 they make a day.

I had one blow out of the head taking the threads with it...was boosted at the time. Time Cert FTW! Suggest torque them next time just to make sure.
