stupid question category
Okay, I keep hearing that people have pucks missing from their plugs when they pull em: "had 5 of the 8 pucks missing!". etc.
What the hell is a puck and where is it located. Specifically.
I just pulled all 8 plugs on an LT1 with 102K miles. They all looked fine, but all had a large gap: .065 to .070. So do I have pucks missing? [IMG][/IMG]
The books calls for .050 gap. Is that what everyone is running?

Re: stupid question category (emoshn)
Never had this happen but I thought the "pucks" were the pieces at the very top of the plug (under the arm that you adjust when gapping)
It should be interesting to see where this goes :D

The platinum part of the electrode was just a small piece welded onto the center electrode, instead of the whole electrode being platinum. In the early days of this plug, the platinum puck would come off due to bad construction and end up in the motor. I have heard that they solved this problem, but am not sure.
