    I would like to hear your feedback as far as is it ok to gl*** bead spark plugs. I know that there is a special coating that is applied on them. Once you have removed this coating may or may not perform the same. Or would it be safer to buy new ones. I know over the years I have had to gl*** beat a few and re install them with no issues. Let me know

    Thanks

    do you mean gl*** bead?
    although in reality you are beating them with gl*** beads.

    ive done the sand blasting of them from time to time on old engines that had a tendancy to foul them..but after a few times they became pretty useless

    At some point they become worthless, but you can usually get another round or two out of them.

    Best to find the reason for the fouling.
