Spark Plug Surprise!!!

I've seen several Autolite plugs right out of the box that didn't fire.
Ask @Skytrooper about his car it was unbelievable like 3 out of 8.
Now it's possible they were dropped at the parts store but I won't buy or install any Autolite plugs.

4 out of 8 were junk right out of the box !

Well, my experience was Back in the Day.
 
So finally getting the Bee brakes rebuilt so I can start driving more and then during testing thought I had an exhaust leak or something else but it was nothing good. The sound was nothing I had heard before.

Being busy with work I just ordered new gaskets thinking I will get this completed today (over a month since the issue) then Bee needed a little bit to get started and heard what sounded like pressure like leaving a spark plug out and then I find a plug with the ceramic moving in the body of the plug.

I am sure many of you have seen this in the past but a first for me!!!! I tired to upload a video but I cannot figure out how to do that.
Had a couple of Autolites do that. One time when I went to replace the plugs in my sister's 65 Mudstain, the electrode came out when the boot was pulled off.

On the ice fishing show... 'Ice Vikings' one of the guys had a truck where a spark plug apparently 'shot out' of the engine - a Ford of course. The local mechanic said he'd never seen that happen before. When the young guy rings his grandfather, the old fella says..."yep, I seen that happen before" :lol:

Fishing stories....:rolleyes:
Was following a buddy while riding go carts and his engine shot the plug out....dang thing went about 15 feet up. First time to see something like that lol
 
I can’t remember ever having any of the plug problems as written about on this thread.
