Water in spark plug holes (was Re: Running rich)

[James Espey <james@xxxx>]

John notes he has problems with water occasionally in his spark plug 
holes, which is almost always because the original plug wires are 
replaced with a cheaper aftermarket wire. The OEM wires have a 
special seal around them to prevent this, which all the aftermarket 
wires I have seen DON'T HAVE. Another area where trying to save a few 
bucks can cause more problems than if you and just bought the right 
part in the first place.
