A "tip" on sparkplugs

You would have though I learned my lesson in May. A refresher for those that missed it:

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread.php?threadid=223679&highlight=plug

After discussing it with another fellow, this is a common problem - the vibrations shake the tips of the plugs off. Attempting to diagnose another problem today I found that it happened again. The tip came off and fortunately this time was trapped in the end of the spark plug wire. I was able to get it out with little effort.

So the "tip" on tips is to ensure those things are on there gorilla tight. You cannot retreive them with a magnet if the fall off.
