....today being the 1st day I really got to drive the
car like I stole it, I was outside & had the hood
up...just making sure everything was doing what it was
supposed to be doing. Mind you just had this whole
motor apart & put it back together with some VERY
ported & polished heads...yada yada yada....just
keeping a close eye on things. When I went to move the
#1 spark plug wire into the chanell cause it wasn't in
there good. So I put my hand ontop of the 2nd plug
wire top from the front..it felt like someone was
poking my hand with there finger. So I pressed down a
little harder cause I thought maybe the plug wire
wasn't fully pressed in..well thats when I could
actually hear a knocking noise comming from the cavern
were the plug is.

 I get that from the pass side 2nd & 3rd plug/wire. &
the last nearest the firewall on the driver side.

 I talked to someone who said I may have 3 bad plugs.
 I did remove the 2nd plug wire from the spark plug &
tried to re-torque it....but it seemed like it was
when I had just torqued them all down.

 I'm going to pull the offending plug wires & swap
them with some spairs & see what happens. If it
doesn't change then I'll pull the 3 plugs & see if the
porcalean is cracked..or something defective with the
plug. But I took a look at each & everyone of them
before I put them in to check the gap...& they all
looked fine. I didn't man handle them while putting
them in...so I'm sure I got my base covered there.

 Oh well I'll take a look tomorrow.

 Thanx
Ron
