yeah, a bit hard to tell without scale...FWIW "big" is relative...I have my GF thinking 4" is BIG....so dont ruin it for me.
Changed plugs. These had 144K miles on them.
Any issues removing? I have 150K but not sure how old they are. Bought with 100K so I know there are at least 50K.
Just wondered what to expect.
No issues. Only one was a bit tight. I spayed a little bit of wd-40 down there after a few turns backing it out. I then re-tightened, then back it out.
:rockon:Grab an OEM PVC valve and change that while you are at it. Prob. needs it.
Thanks, will do!

Was this photo taking before or after you ran the plugs through the "air dry" cycle in your dryer??:jump:

are you using WD40 as "antiseize"???.....Im not a chemist, but I dont think that is such a great idea....its more for light lubrication and water displacement. IN my experience wd 40 gets kinda sticky after drying and heat exposure.
you should use proper anti seize if that is what you are going for.
And for anyone else doing this...always hand insert the plugs at first to prevent cross threading.
Nope. Just to ease the plug out.
After. :guitar3:

Nice, and what do you think of that GR Corolla? ,,,did you get if for sticker?
Loving the GR. It’s a hell of a little car.
Got mine through corporate lease program. They did a very limited number for employees and I was lucky.

What is your track bike?
I used to run a Duc 998 and Mv Agusta F4 1000...mostly Barber Motorsports Park. Thinking about getting a Aprilia RSV4 Factory or a Tuano....but cant decide.

Loaded up to go ride. Any personal thoughts on this? About 1.5” of squat front to back. Bump stop has plenty of room, cone isn’t in contact yet, this is with 1.5” front lift and 1” eibach spring in the rear. I don’t like the squat but it’s not the worst thing in the world. Also this bike is about 320 lbs with a 60 pound bike carrier. So I imagine with the leverage that this bike puts on the hitch it’s got to be close if not exceeding the 500lb tongue weight capacity. Any thoughts?
