Blown Vert spark Plugs!
Well most of you know from my other posts that i have had a sick vert for a while now. I was leaking coolent through the rotor housing. Well my baby finally blew up yesterday after putting about 10k on it with the problem. I thought you all might dig the picture of my spark plugs when i pulled them. There are actually small nics and chunks missing out of one plug. Im currious on how the inside of the rotor looks.
