[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1023924, member: 52972"] Benny, My first thought was "Why would changing the sparkplugs cause gasoline fume problem". Then I read Todd Z's reply and the light bulbs went on :grin: I am confident that Todd has hit the nail on the head :supercool::supercool: Because sparkplugs are often difficult to get at, easy to cross thread, and a bitch to removed without breaking them, many mechanics tend to ease up on the torque specs and that leads to leaks during compression. I am confident that Todd speaks the truth...probably from experience. :grin: ...Richard [/QUOTE]
