#Testing spark plug install
If a high torque is needed to install the plug, dirty or damaged threads on either the plug or plug bushing are indicated. In this case, only a small amount of additional tightening torque is needed to compress the gasket to form a gastight seal. If you can screw the plug into the cylinder with comparative ease using your fingers, this indicates good, clean threads. To install a spark plug, start it into the cylinder without using a wrench of any kind, and turn it until the spark plug is seated on the gasket. Replace the cylinder if, during the thread-cleaning process, the bushing is found to be loose, loosened in the cylinder, or the threads are cross-threaded or otherwise seriously damaged. This removes carbon deposits from the bushing threads without removing bushing metal, unless the pitch diameter of the threads has contracted as the result of shrinkage or some other unusual condition.
#Testing spark plug full
When screwing the tap into the bushing, be sure that the full tap cutting thread reaches the bottom thread of the bushing. To start the tap on installations where the spark plug hole is located deeper than can be reached by a clenched hand, it may be necessary to use a short length of hose slipped over the square end of the tap to act as an extension. Align the tap with the bushing threads by sight where possible, and start the tap by hand until there is no possibility of it being cross-threaded in the bushing. Before inserting the cleanout tap in the spark plug hole, fill the flutes of the tap, or channels between threads, with clean grease to prevent hard carbon or other material removed by the tap from dropping into the inside of the cylinder. If the firing pattern is good, the plug should be returned to its holder ready for installation in the engine.īrass or stainless steel spark plug bushings are usually cleaned with a spark plug bushing cleanout tap. As this test takes place, the firing end of the plug is subjected to air pressure to simulate the pressure in the engine’s cylinder. The spark plug should be tested by using a tester as shown in Figure 8, which passes a high-voltage through the spark plug and fire the gap. If the plug passes the firing end visual and cleaning checks, then the spark gap should be set using a round thickness gauge. The firing end should be inspected using a light and a magnifying glass. The shielding barrel insulators may be cleaned with a cotton cloth or felt swab saturated with solvent, wood alcohol, or other approved cleaner. After the abrasive blast, the firing end gets a thorough air blast to remove the abrasive material. As the firing end is subjected to the abrasive blast, the plug should be rotated so all the area of the firing end is cleaned.

#Testing spark plug professional
If you see any damage to insulation, then first insulate the wire with insulation tape.Start physical inspection of spark plug wires and female spark plug holders.Expose the area with light so you can see everything.1x Contact cleaner (if it’s not possible that you can use distilled water).1x Auto-Ranging digital multimeter / digital clamp meter.First of all, you must know which tools should be in your toolkit for troubleshooting. This guide is for both beginners and electricians.
