however, coolant has been disappearing (i know, i know) and
when i pull the plugs i'd like to know what to look for.
the oil still looks like oil. and the antifreeze doesn't smell
funny. i think that's a good sign.
also, which plug is number 4? a lot of reports have
the intake gasket leak occuring there.
thanks...thehick

#4 is on the front bank... passengers side. Look for any plugs that have
little in the way of eposits... especially when compared to the others.
Also, check the front cover and water pump for any "tattletale" streaks.

Normal plugs look tan & the electrodes will be gently rounded.
Amount of coolant leaking (should that be the case) will affect how it
looks otherwise
