I think we need a little more detail about what you are trying to do and why you are having trouble doing it. DB The rule of thumb on dropping spark plugs is to drop it twice: 1. Accidentally on the floor 2. Into the trash.

DB It's hard-pressed to fall into the cylinder, so I gather it fell somewhere inside the cowl? -- A host is a host from coast to & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433
