14.2) Inspection and replacement of spark plugs
General note See Fig. 30.
Because of the differing thermal load, particular spark plugs have been
specified for each engine type.
In numerous tests the best possible heat range has been determined to
make sure that the spark plug will burn off deposits but will not overheat.
Renewal intervals NOTES: Operation with leaded fuels (e.g. AVGAS 100LL) can re-
sult in increased wear of the spark plugs. Reduce renewal
intervals accordingly.
Special tool Ensure that the following spark plugs corresponding to engine type are
employed and that the correct spark plug socket is used:
14.2.1) Remove the spark plugs
