Jdubs99 Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Changed the sparkplugs today, looks like the last owner and our local Mazda dealer were on the up and up, they changed all 6 from from the OE NGK laser whatevers to some Denso plugs. I put in the NGK iridiums. Anyway, cylinders 1 and 2 were oil fouled. I've got no exhaust smoke other than cold weather. Valve seals, intake gasket? Input is appreciated, I'd like to catch this and fix it before it gets really expensive. Also did a secondary cleaning on both intercoolers, no accumulation of oil on either so i guess the S/C seals are good. Some pics are up on my cardomain.

///BHRpowered Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 actually denso and champion are the oem ones, the NGK laser are considered the upgrade, but what a freakin pain it is to change those plugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdubs99 Posted November 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I hope this isn't the reason the car was traded, I'm broke most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
