    Angry What were they thinking?

    Hey guys,

    Yesterday i bought a VP that didn't look half bad. Today i am giving it a service and im starting with the spark plugs.
    I have got to say i have changed many many spark plugs before and these by far were the tightest ones i have ever come across. i put a breaker bar on the plug and used a pole on the ratchet for more leverage.
    They were so tight i was just thinking in my head, what they hell was this guy thinking? Its like he tightened them up with a rattle gun.

    I want to know have any of you guys bought a second hand car and found something that the previous owner has stupidly done?

    I use Never Sieze on all spark plugs threads fitted to alloy heads.
    Works a treat.
