Hello there,
Went to change my spark plugs today, 8300 or so miles. Pulled out the first "cap" and pulled out the plug. Noticed the difference between new and old, as the picture attached shows.
Only just before I go to put the cap back on do I think "hmmm that's strange...". It looks as though the "connector" part of the old plug came off with the spark plug "cap" and not with the spark plug itself. I attempted to thread the plug back into the cap and sure enough it threaded in nicely, but when I tried to pull it out (hoping the "connector" piece would come with it this time, it just pulled out and you could hear the threads scraping.
I grabbed needle nosed pliers and tried to pull it out for a bit; you can probably see the "scarring". Am I off my rocker? Bought the wrong plugs? I pulled out the other three caps and all three did the same slight "scraping" noise on pulling out and showed the same things.
FML. Thanks for any help. I did plenty of spark plug FZ6 specific research before but never saw anything like this...
