I would be taking the head off anyway just incase. if there is a loose bit bouncing round than it could easily jam under a valve and cause serious problems. | |

A plug melted on my old nova. Turned out it broke a piece off a valve when a piece of the plug got jammed in it. | |

destroyed plugs is usually running lean rather than rich. the engine will run a lot hotter running lean. | |
