<< It appears that that little side electrode musta danced right on out o' the engine (thank the gods). Couldn't find it anywhere. I used all of the EASY recommended methods to retrieve it. The loss of power I guess was mainly due to the plug not firing. Unfortunately, I had to catch my flight and was not able to do the compression check or much else for that matter. I did make it to NAPA to get some more Bosch plugs (am I asking for trouble here?) and asked him (the NAPAman) if he had run across this problem B4 on the Bosch plugs. He didn't seem at all surprised and said that it happens often enough but that the Bosch was packaged better for shipping, blah, blah, blah ... and so I went with the kraut spark again of course. Old habits are hard to break and if you figure statistics, I'm now better off as having had this happen (Yeah, RIGHT!).

Well, just wanted to thank all on the list and I'll update ya ASAP on my findings once I'm able to delve into the matter deeper. I haven't actually started her since this incident.

Once again, Thanks for all the Fish...

I'm offended by the term "Kraut spark plugs". In the land of the round door knobs, (America), and everything else built HALF ASS, you drove your Kraut vanagerm to shit hole Napa, to be helped by BuBu, who should off sold you some peace crap "Krapa spark plugs" (Autolites) put together by a bunch of white trash red-necks. "How about some Krapa Autolite shit fire white trash red-neck plugs for your Vanagerm SIR" Don, if you think every german is a kraut, than every american is a lazy, fat, white trash, camero hair, red neck looooooooooooossssssser !!! Get my point.
