AidanT Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 If you have a mapp gas brazing torch just put the plug in a vice and heat it up until it's glowing red Let it cool, a quick wire brush and it will be as clean as a new one Aidan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahebron Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 I use my ultrasonic cleaner for spark plugs. Just have to give them a squirt with a lube oil if not using them straightaway as they can corrode. Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 just because a plug looks nice and clean doesnt mean it fires from the tip when under compression pressures it can fly out the ceramic all over the place S Plugs . they are the life and sole of the engine , over the years i just bin any and just fit new they have a good long life but once they have been cooked pinked or over sooted its bin time . being shiny wont recover the lost insulation you can see. a simple pressure tester with air at 90psi will show the misfires old plug testers had this feature with a coil all built in lots garages and service bay used them ...pretty much all long gone .,,they just showed how bad a nice looking plug could get , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveweblin Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 If you use one of the spark plug cleaners be very careful to ensure all the grit is removed from the plug before reusing it. The grit is small and will get trapped in any crevices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
