Posted to European Driveability on 3/6/2008 17 Replies

came in with misfire replaced dist. cap and rotor, plugs and weak coil. NGK plugs other parts NAPA. Tow back in with melted plugs, put hole in piston, replaced engine not knowing what caused first engine to fail. Any hints what could have caused this problem?
