BLOZ UP Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 So, let's say my engine has good compression on 5 cylinders, but the 6th is pretty low, like 90 psi. Low enough to where it will foul spark plugs due to misfires. Now let's say that while I wait for an engine rebuild on a spare engine, I like to drive around. So, how do I improve ignition on this single cylinder? I tried increasing my spark gap from the stock .045" to 0.060", with what I think is great results. As in, my fuel table which has been more or less way out of whack due to the misfires, starts to make sense. I had to lean everything waaaay out to get it to idle, and run correctly. Is this just a coincidence, or did I stumble on to something? What else can I do? Run a hotter plug? I'm not planning on running any endurance series on this motor, I just like to go to club events and stuff nearby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xnke Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Try sidegapping your plugs. It makes a big difference in my engine, especially around idle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
