Turbo, RTV, Block off plates, and advice...

[vex]

So I got a full set of plugs (at least I ordered a full set; both leading and trailing). Ended up only getting 4 leading. No biggie. I look at the gapping for the new plugs and I realise why my engine's been running so crappy lately. My spark plugs are definatly shot more than a dead zombie corpse on a marine base.

The elctrodes on the old plugs have been melted/warn away to almost just little blobs/spikes. Couple that with the amount of carbon on them and I think I know why the plugs only worked the way they did. I'm very surprised by how well the car ran. I'll replace the plugs tomorrow to see if that remedy's my problem.

On a side note will running a full set of Leading plugs pose much of a problem? I'm planning on putting the car in the garage and putting on a turbo in the next week (it'll be down for a month or so). I'm of the thought that it won't be a problem since the plugs themselves are a cooler plug and will take to the additional air and heat without much of a problem.
