Spark Plugs

Reading spark plugs can give some very detailed signs about your engine condition, individual cylinders, tuning etc. Any oil fowled plug(s) will indicate probable blow-by via the engine piston rings or valve guides consequently causing your turbocharger to leak oil. A damaged spark plug(s) can cause impact damage to the turbine wheel from the debris exiting via the exhaust valve causing imbalance and eventual turbocharger failure.
