Title: Small Spark Plug Holes!
Post by: Mordrake on September 03, 2003, 06:57:13 PM

Just about to wrap up my first VW engine rebuild... pulled a 71 engine outta my 73 Superbug after she started knocking and sputtering and decided to go to town on her.

Got bigger pots and pistons, should be a 1777 after I am done... got a more agressive cam, dual Kadrons, forged crank, high end heads, larger oil sump, lightened flywheel... balanced the whole shooting match.. ect.. ect...

Anyways, at the point of putting all the tin back on and now I have to figgure out what sparkplugs to put into her.... kinda a poser cuz the new heads I put intas her have theese teeny tiny lil holes fer the plugs and I have no clue what I should be screwin intas em!!

Any suggestions as to what I need to pick up tommorow so I can get her onto the road?
