4. Inspect for normal burning.
zCheck for light tan or gray deposits on the firing tip.
5. Inspect for pre- ignition, identified by melted electrodes and a possibly damaged insulator.
Metallic deposits on the insulator indicate engine damage. This may be caused by incorrect
ignition timing, wrong type of fuel or the unauthorized installation of a heli- coil insert in place of
the spark plug threads.
zInstall a new spark plug.
6. Inspect for overheating, identified by a white or light gray spots and with bluish- burnt
appearance of electrodes. This is caused by engine overheating, wrong type of fuel, loose spark
plugs, spark plugs with an incorrect heat range, low fuel pump pressure or incorrect ignition
timing.
zInstall a new spark plug. Klj . 2 ba

GENERAL PROCEDURES
Bearing —
Inspection
1. Inspect bearings for the following defects. Possible causes are shown: 1. Cratering — fatigue failure.
2. Spot polishing — incorrect seating.
3. Imbedded dirt engine oil.
4. Scratching — dirty engine oil.
5. Base exposed — poor lubrication.
6. Both edges worn — journal damaged.
7. One edge worn — journal tapered or bearing not seated.
