FEED AFFLUX v5

Hey All,

So I was just about to pull the spark plugs and fog the block for winter storage. Until I realized that I am not running stock spark plugs and therefore need a thin wall socket that I do not have.....

In lieu of waiting to get a socket, is there any other way to get fogging oil in the block?

The spark plug route has served me well over several cold winters with other rotaries. It is also way too cold here now to fire it up and try via the intake.

My first thoughts were to pull the exhaust or UIM. Just curious what other ideas are out there and what will be easiest.

Thanks in advance for any help, Tom

I bought a cheap spark plug socket from an auto parts store, ground it down on the bench grinder until it fit, then voila. It's not sexy but it works.

I would think pulling the UIM would probably be the best/fastest way to get in there. You can squirt the fogging oil down the intake runners and turn the motor by hand. Going through the exhaust would be a HUGE pain in the ***.

Thanks for the advice, ended up getting distracted and the thin wall socket arrived in the mail - so I went the spark plug route as normal

I did it through the UIM last winter when I was in Chicago and had no problems, Started up first try in the spring.
