Happy Thanksgiving all!
I have a question for =
ye....
About 7-8 months ago, Betsy (our '87 =
Wolfy) went
into the dealership to get a tune up and some coolant hoses replaced (I =
had a
broken collar bone). The mechanic there told me that I had =
installed the
incorrect spark plugs, and that he had replaced them with Bosch 3
-Trodes[W7DTC].
Last weekend, half of the electrode
isulator on one of those spark plugs broke off and is loose in the
cylinder. Since I'm going to re-seal the head this weekend anyway, no
biggie.
My question is, Are these really the =
correct plugs
for my van? I've always used Bosch Super (single trode) in all my
air-cooled buses, and that is what I had installed in Betsy. After =
speaking with
one of the very helpful guys at Bus Boys, I was informed that the =
3-prongers are
for '85 only? Is this right? The plugs seem to run great, but I'm =
worried about
future problems (i.e. eletrode insulators breaking in =
half!).
I've read many posts supporting these =
plugs. So,
did I just happen to get a defective one? All the plugs are clean, no =
deposits,
etc...
I'm just a bit confused. I'm going to =
need to
replace the plug(s) this weekend and, of course, I want to be sure that =
Betsy
has the correct setup.
Thanks a bunch!
