This is a bit of a bummer. I just
replaced all my massives with fine wire…guess it’s time to go back….

Tempest spark plugs
Lorn, you must have missed this.
I've included an alternate link to what Ron put in because I couldn't
get that to work.
This is a very interesting read.
The problem was actually found on Champion plugs.
TAT is recommending Champion massives. It looks to me like TAT
likes the 29 heat range and that Tempest doesn't make one of those.
I'll seek clarification from Walter.
Other very interesting stuff in this article: pictures of
affected cylinders; pictures of the monitor trace; what to do if you see that
kind of a trace in flight.
