    Here are some pics of the odd rust colored power I am getting on my lead
ends.

Plugs2.jpg is a close up of the #4 lead.  When I checked that plug I found
it to be loose again and smells like gas when I poke my nose down into it.
I pulled all the plugs and checked them, all look fine, a little carbon
build up around the outside of the plug, not on the prongs.  I re-torqued
and cleaned each lead end to see if that rust colored powder comes back.  I
ran the engine for 20 minutes and sniffed and sniffed and sniffed and found
no gas smell.  I took it for a drive and the smell is gone again.  Though
with all that sniffing I did find my coolant leak, at the back of the head,
argh.

Thanks,
