Loose spark plug - pic - thoughts?
Well, I've been counting the miles to when my new clutch is broken in and while I was doing some routine checks, I noticed one of the spark plugs was about a turn or so loose. When I pulled it out, it was clean on the end , but had some sticky black "goo" around the base. It looked like this:
I tightened it back up, but haven't had the chance to drive it yet because of the weather. So,
1. What is the "goo"?
2. What happens when a spark plug is loose?
3. Is there anything I need to do now? Is that "goo" gunked up other places?
Thanks, guys!
