Can happen on anything really, faulty plug from manufacturer, dropped, mishandled, fractured etc.

Looks like a copper plug, but it doesn't matter what type:

As long as you got it out, :P thats the main thing.

it would have to be a faulty plug because spark plugs can be hard to snap

i know one day with one of my old NGK spark plugs i was thinking what is

inside so i throw it on the ground, hit it with a hammer and jumped on it and

it didn't brake

how the hell did you brake it?! :P

I had a spark plug snap on me a few weeks back. I just thought I had snapped it with my socket. Instead of pulling the socket off straight out, I did it on an angle or something. :P

Was running Bosch items, only about a week old.

I did the same thing a year or so ago. Took the socket off on an angle and snapped a spark plug.

I have never just dropped one and it crumbled though. Must have been something seriously wrong with it to do that.

    • So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.
    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking
