BurnieM Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Can I suggest that you leave Skippys post in this thread and also duplicate it in your new thread, the post starting; "It's amazing how conversations on this Forum can dive down unexpected, often entertaining/instructive "rabbit holes". This is not one of those beneficial digressions - there are certain people who have voiced opinions, completely unrelated to the maintenance of Rotax 9 engines regarding the installation of spark plugs. I warn Rotax maintainers against these opinions (anti size and unspecified lubricants) - they have no application in the installation of spark plugs in Rotax 9 engines. ......... " and then move all the posts after that into your new thread. I did not use your new thread as the context of the discussion would be lost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tear the thread out of a plug hole and you’ll be convinced for life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 That would be a pretty good way of restructuring the argument just because YOU don't like it. IF You haven't NOTICED ... up till now. I've consistently said "DO WHAT THE MAKER ADVISES".. There's confusion here about Silicone, silicon and silica. Some of the silicone sealants I use go hard in the tube before I finish them.. How do you clean the thread of the remains of the old sealant? What solvent would you use? any remaining grunge would maybe keep the thread from having the optimum contact and also negate the validity of the torquing figure.. There's a big risk of the wrong product being used. ."This one has silicon in it and should do it." as I don't have the brand you asked for. Hence the possibility of the unknown variable creeping in. Murphy's Law. .Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 The NGK plugs say don't use ANYTHING as it can be detrimental. I'd GO by their advice. if I used them. . Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
