Consumer Description

THE SPARK PLUG IN MY MAZDA TRIBUTE 2002 BLEW OUT OF THE SOCKET CAUSING ME TO HUNT DOWN A VALVE COVER. THE MECHANIC SAID I DIDN'T TIGHTEN IT ENOUGH WHICH IS FALSE I BELIEVE THERE IS A EQUIPMENT DEFECT WITH THE COMPRESSING SOMEHOW. I PURPOSEFULLY RETIGHTINENED THE REMAINING TWO THAT I COULD GET AT AND THE MECHANIC SAID THE VERY NEXT DAY THAT THEY WHERE LOOSE. I USED A TORQUE SPECIFIED WRENCH TO THE MANUALS DESCRIPTION IS THERE A PROBLEM WITH THAT YEARS FORD MADE MAZDAS. A FIRE COULD BREAK OUT OR AN EXPLOSION. *TR
