Help: A crack at the spark plug hole..???
Hi..
I have just taking my engine apart and now i found some cracks around the spark plug hole inside the rotor housing. There are 1 crack in the first housing an 2 cracks in the second housing just around the spark plug hole..
They are very small but they are there... I think they are 1 mm long but my question is if that is normal...???
Does the engine work fine or should i find some new housings...???
I have 4 housings in spareparts and there are cracks in all of them...???
I hope someone can help me with that problem..
Thanx

I have a friend whose dad had an 85 GSLSE and overtightened the sparkplug once and when removing for replacement the threads broke!! The crack was circular around the hole and brought the whole thing out with the sparkplug... He put it back the best he could and sold the car

I've seen SOMEWHERE specs and info on cracking around plug holes. Like, if the crack is so long, you can't use it kind of deal.
Yeah, grinding the crack down a bit would probably do the trick. Big thing is that there's nothing for the apex seal to catch on - that could accelerate wear.
