Hi, While changing my plugs today I happened to shine a trouble light down on the spark plug holes and was surprised by the amount of gravel that had collected in the hole recess. No wonder #1 plug made a "crunch crunch" sound as I was tighening it up. I partly screwed the plugs in to keep the gravel out of the cylinder, while I used an air hose to blow out all the recesses.
