cutlass1991 Posted April 20, 2005 Report Posted April 20, 2005 I heard a story of plugs shooting straight through a guys hood. I didn't really believe it, but I guess it is possible. Scary that the torqe spec for plugs is only 18 ft/lbs on the 3.1L Quote
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted April 20, 2005 Report Posted April 20, 2005 In highschool out shop car had a hole in the hood cause someone didn't tighten up the sparkplug properly and it shot right through. Quote
loominaz34 Posted April 21, 2005 Report Posted April 21, 2005 Damn, dont engines only make like 160 psi or less in compression? Quote
chadz34 Posted April 21, 2005 Report Posted April 21, 2005 Jesus, haha I didn't know you could shoot spark plugs out. I haven't ever heard of that. :shock: Quote
