Thanks, Al,
Yes, I truly mean it when I say so long as the
problem permits me to get back on the ground safely, I am not
grousing. S__T does happen and all you can do it try to avoid the worst
of it {:>)
B9EGV? Humm, I apparently misread
one of the e mails I had on the plugs topic as B9EQV - wouldn't that be the
kicker if all this came about because I misread one letter. However
since they are both "E" = 3/4" length they should(maybe) be
interchangeable. I did hold one up to the stock plug and
eyeballed it but had no reason to dig out the calipers and measure
it.
Thanks, I had not thought of that
possibility as to why the delay in damage (if it were caused by too long
plugs) as the seals jumping over the plug part until becoming too
damaged. The rear rotor went first
which then started a vibration which may have helped the front rotor's
demise along.
Well, going out this AM to hopefully pull the
engine load it in the Van and get it back to the shop. Am going to
check on the plugs and the plenum - could be something else I guess - but
not a clue as to what it might be.
Will keep everyone informed.
Ed

, I had just put
in 4 new B9EQV spark plugs the previous day.
Ed;
Sorry to hear
of your disappointing trip. But, hey; s__t happens. You did
the right thing, of course. When the engine isn’t running properly,
you take the nearest airport. It’s great that you and your plane got
down just fine.
If it is the
plugs, perhaps it’s possible that the seals jumped over the protruding
plugs for a while until they became damaged enough for loss of
compression? Pulling a leading plug should tell the story on that.
How did you choose the B9EQV? Did you know of someone else using
them? I’m running the B9EGV and they are fine.
