Default Motor on it's way out. Gunked plug first sign of issues

Hooray for triple digits!

Started the R&R yesterday.









Plug 1 gunked with I assume oil. It is a very low mile Iridium. Diagnosis?

I feel your pain on this triple digit heat. I just got my new motor back in my Z this weekend...it was terrible. Are you swapping in a stock block or are you going to try to repair your stroker motor?

It's getting a stock motor, and being sold/traded in.

I am selling the easily removable/ not installing mods, asking the builder to fix or buy the motor and getting the f00k away from Nissan.
