Wrong Heat Range- Bentley Got Me!
Changed my spark plugs a couple of weeks ago.Went to a set of Bosch wr7dp's on my 83SC Targa per my Bentley manual.The car seemed to run fine for about a week,then it dropped down to an idle of about 600-650rpm.After seeing recent post I've relized I have the wrong plugs in my motor.I have a set of wr5dc's comming in today,hope that clear's up the idle,but did I possibly cause any damage by running these "hotter" plugs in my motor.The motor went through a top end rebuild this winter with new cams,I do run it hard.If I'm taking the 911 out it usually see's 5000-6500 rpm's.The motor only has 56k on it but I'm wondering if my new valve job could have been compromised with the wrong plugs?What do you guy's think? Thanks in advance, hank911..
