HELP! Engine eating glow plugs!
hiya folks!
I have a mugen mbx5 buggy with a os v-spec (stock) engine.
The car has been in storage for a bit and i've recently brought it out to play.
during a session lasting about 4 hours. i went through about 10 plugs!
the plug filaments get desoldered or broken inside. so from the outside, the plugs look fine. sometimes, the filaments are melted into a lump.
i don't know what's happening to my engine, the compression is very good still. no play on the conrod.
this is with 2 shims on the head a silver thick one and a thinner brass shim.
the track features many jumps and i dunt believe i have geared my car wrongly. the clutch springs and shoes are new and dont look broken or worn.
the clutch bearings are fine too.
can anyone help with some advice??
thank you very much!
