paraboy 50 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Hi all can anybody tell me if using a head temperature gauge should the ring seal be removed from plug I'm running a air conception nitro 200 thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackburn Mark Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I personally would remove the plug washer but I don't really see any issue either way that I can quantify besides the chance of the plug working itself lose more readily if the Temp pickup ring is copper... That would remain true either way. The temperature swings may be enough to slowly compress the copper but be warned, do not over tighten, it wont help and stripping the thread would be a real bitch... Just give it the usual nip and keep an eye on things. Any small depth of the plug change will be very small, even if the piston contacted the plug (very unlikely) it would knock the plug gap closed on the first pull and it wouldn't fire.

Cyscrofer Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Do not remove the spark plug ring its a one time compression gasket even though people take em in and out without thought the type k thermocouple is mounted to a brass washer used for its excellent transfer of heat for ref you can remount the type k thermo couple and bolt it on to a head bolt but make sure it is torqued down correctly alternatively any other bolt mount on the cylinder head just not on the fins the temperature on the head will be parity uniform and a few minutes of continuous running 1/4 turn after nip on the spark plug only hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
