Whiskey Bravo, I have the same engine and the Mark 140. I was thinking of doing the same when I got the time. Also look here
http://www.rcextremepower.net/ignitions.html . I purchased two but have yet to try them out. Adapters look good though.
Keeps us up to date on how it goes. If I remember I think someone else on the forum was thinking of doing the same.
the problem with the china made (cheap) plug adapters is that they tried to make one fits all. by that i mean, they machine the seat area for both gasket type and tapered seat type applications!!!!!
they don't seat or seal good. they made a mess on my engines with black oily goo.[:@] if your engine calls for a tapered seat plug ok, but if your engine calls for a gasket type plug, not so ok!!!!!!! if u-all want ones that work P.M. me!!!!!!
went to the afore mentioned web site and the 10mm x 1/4''-32p adapters are out of stock!!!!!! hmmmmm wonder why. they are hard to make, take time and care to make them rite. because of the sizes of the thread diam. inside and out. by the time you machine the outer threads (10mm) it leaves very little wall thickness after you cut the 1/4'' inner threads for the glow plug. it's risky business making these. once again i say P.M. me.
