Thanks, Al,
Yes, I truly mean it when I say so long as the
problem permits me to get back on the ground safely, I am not
grousing. S__T does happen and all you can do it try to avoid the worst of
it {:>)
B9EGV? Humm, I apparently misread one
of the e mails I had on the plugs topic as B9EQV - wouldn't that be the kicker
if all this came about because I misread one letter. However since they
are both "E" = 3/4" length they should(maybe) be interchangeable. I
did hold one up to the stock plug and eyeballed it but had no
reason to dig out the calipers and measure it.
Thanks, I had not thought of that possibility
as to why the delay in damage (if it were caused by too long plugs) as the seals
jumping over the plug part until becoming too damaged. The rear rotor went first which then started a vibration which
may have helped the front rotor's demise along.
Well, going out this AM to hopefully pull the
engine load it in the Van and get it back to the shop. Am going to check
on the plugs and the plenum - could be something else I guess - but not a clue
as to what it might be.
Will keep everyone informed.
Ed

, I had just put in 4 new B9EQV
spark plugs the previous day.
Ed;
Sorry to hear of
your disappointing trip. But, hey; s__t happens. You did the right
thing, of course. When the engine isn’t running properly, you take the
nearest airport. It’s great that you and your plane got down just
fine.
If it is the plugs,
perhaps it’s possible that the seals jumped over the protruding plugs for a
while until they became damaged enough for loss of compression? Pulling
a leading plug should tell the story on that. How did you choose the
B9EQV? Did you know of someone else using them? I’m running the B9EGV
and they are fine.
