anyone ever taken a sparkplug out whilst the engines running and got themselves flambe'ed ?

[brainsnova]

only when i was testing for a spark and my mate turned it over before i told him to.

[wwmnw]

No, But my mate will now I know how its done, Teach him to piss me off.

[draper]

ive never done it (i make sure the keys arent even in the ignition lol) but ive seen people dance around workshops before lol

[Tidy Max]

why what happens?! does it squirt some burning fuel at you or something?! this is just the kind of thing that i would do!!

[General Lee]

You wouldn't be able to squirt burning fuel out with the lead being disconnected an all unless you are a clever boy. It would tho shoot out about 50mph, why would you do that.

the flame front only travels at a "brisk walking pace".... but if you can walk at 50mph then fair play.

it shouldnt ignite with no plug in there anyway ;)

Never done that. Have touched an HT lead on a Supra though when someone decided to start it. :( lol

[Jack]

lmfao, I was about to say how the hell did it ignite? Unless you removed the HT lead, removed the plug, put the plug back on the HT lead and rested it on the head with the spark node hanging over the spark plug holeTHEN someone started the car lol

I have however seen someone lose their eyebrows when they were "testing" an ALS without the full exhaust on :tard:

[L14MNP]

LOL!

Turning over an engine with no cam cover is always funny too. Seen two people get splattered. n00bs. :)

Well I started my old Nova (white!) without the oil cap on! then went round the front just in time for the oil pressure to reach mokey****flinging point and i was quite annoyinly showered whilst wearing a white t-shirt n best jeans!

[jimbob-mcgrew]

i wouldnt do it intentionally! just like i didnt intentionally pop the tailgate lifter off whilst i was in the boot, still hurts just as bad though lol

[novaguy08]

ohwhen the blue nova was buggered with timing I decided to look into the TB just as it was firing!

[mowgli]

LOL!

done way better than that... me and one of the blokes at work were servicing a lorry. we'd drained the oil & refilled it, and the other bloke was in the pit next to the drain tub. he decided to ask me to start it up 'just to make sure'... so far so good, until the viscous fan engaged, and the blast of air blew hot oil all over him.
