A few months ago I posted about a WD45 that was smashing the spark plugs. We thought that the manifold was flaking off and getting into 1 and 2 cylinders. They have installed a new manifold and the tractor has been used all spring with no further problems. Thanks.

Yes I agree. Never heard of that before. Knowlege is power. Have however found a factory assembled and sealed two peice intake manifold debond on a genset before.
