I just called GOWESTY and they did supply and installed the spark plugs for the new 2.2 engine that was installed in my 88' westy. So I must apologize  that the mechanic who installed my engine did not mess up the plugs problem. Thanks for the information and I stand corrected.

Now if this should be attributable to a mechanical problem in the engine then they should be involved ASAP. I have seen enough engine problems due to a bad installation or the reason for the original failure not being diagnosed or corrected to look at that stuff first.

>> Question on why do I sometimes get a backfire from my 2.2 GOWESTY WBX. yesterday I drove the 88 gl Westy an 1.5 hr pulled over to check my GPS, shut the engine off. Then 2 minutes later started it and "bang" it backfired, it did start. Shut it down and tried again same thing. Drove home it didn't occur again. Any thoughts of what is going on? The new  Engine has about 5000 miles on it. Maybe to many mice running around in there.
