The only reason I only ride in the Iron man Class is I have no friends left to enter the two man events,
my own fault really.

If its internal combustion then why is the spark plug on the out side?
I though the pasta was on you since I am such a looker and I won my races?
For whom the bell tolls
lol, the spark plug is 'in' the engine and the combustion happens inside the cylinder where the spark plug ignites the gas.
Still something would have had to go pretty wrong for that to happen.

where opinion holds more weight than fact.
It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

Out of a Suzuki 500 two smoker (might have been a racing one, TR500, not sure). apparently blew the spark plug out of the head, took all the head threads off, and did that to the plug . There was also in suggestion that a broken ring might be implicated, though I can't see quite how.

Shows you that on threads the first few threads take the majority of the loads , Either that of big bruce MacHammer the mechanic has been up to his old tricks

I've seen it once before on a T160 Triumph, guy was riding it back to Christchurch (120km) as a twin

Saw a motor mower do that many a year back, the cretin had given the plug about 2 million ft lb of torque and hard partial striped the thread in the head. He said that the plug wouldnt get any tighter.
I ran for about 2 minutes, I suspect until the head heated up, and spat the plug out about 5 ft.

I've seen a few blow out of the heads , and take the head threads out. never seen one rip the thread off the plug itself.
Also seen plenty of sidevalve plugs immoveably rusted into the cast iron heads.
And seen plugs where the ceramic bit has blown clean out of the metal body.
Forum whore
Yeah,those threads are torn off the body - like the head was stronger than the sparkplug...maybe a helicoil in the head? I still think it must of been loose to start with,then unwound untill the last few threads couldn't take the strain.Removing up to a dozen sparkplugs a day,maybe more - you'd be surprised at how many are loose....and not because the guy who fitted them didn't tighten them up.Murphy sleeps in workshops overnight....he gets an early start that way.....
My mate couldn't get the plugs out of his Indian,so he used to remove the heads to clean the plugs.
