thought I had blown at HG

in my case the car must have backed off the plug and been running like that for a while. threads had to be chased.

Dr. Phil was my hero and ran me around in his 402 (what a nice car!) and helped me get the LSV back to Alex Va with zero drama.

check that #8!!! I now check the torq on the plugs when installing and go back after a few heat cycles to make sure all is well.
