Question for you car peoples.
I was changing spark plugs in mamashark's car. I'm putting the last plug in, torqueing it down, and all of a sudden the spark plug well begins to fill with liquid, maybe water, oil, gas? Not sure.
Any ideas? Maybe just need a new valve cover gasket set?

Need to know what kind of liquid. Stick a paper towel down in the well and see what sucks up.
pic of the area maybe?

That’s fucking crazy. That rarely occurs here, that shocks me it disrupted that many vehicles. Especially those truckers etc., they usually are pretty good about driving in the snow with distances. Ha ha I just can’t comprehend...that’s like time I was stuck in TN for 8 hrs on the highway after a semi jack knifed.
too larry

Beetles are bad here too. I've seen some really good work done with the beetle killed wood. Lint's van comes to mind. {he is a super hero in the hiking world. Triple Triple crowner. Like all the best hikers, he lives in a van} The pine is at 13:13 if you don't want to watch the whole tour.

Intake or head gasket. What kind of car and was there a reason for the tune up?

So potentially bad head gasket?
I did notice radiator hoses were squishy

I used the same cork floor on my front bathroom...lol. The blue stain pine is pretty to work with, not worth a dam structurally though.

Yeah, but if it's a little 4 banger it might be easy. I've done them in under an hour.

Was that down the spark plug hole?

Yes, sorry should have elaborated more.

Yes down spark plug well.

That definitely sounds like a head gasket blew.

I don't believe whatever is in there should be there, it should just be the top of a piston...???

Damn. Ok. Shouldn't be to hard to do. I've helped once before and have a neighbor that's really good with cars. He's just not around right now.
Oh well maybe next weekend. Glad we have extra vehicles
