So, I've had a bit of a setback on my build, in the form of a broken spark plug that initiated a misfire... I noticed the miss on my way to work, last night of last work week... When I got home, I eventually removed plug 1 and noticed that the electrodes were gone, along with the center insulator... Feeling sick, I tried sucking it out with vacuum to no avail... Thinking it was already gone, I put in a different(but functional) plug and fired it up, and the misfire persisted, and eventually I heard a loud tapping that abruptly stopped... I removed the plug and found tap marks on it and the center insulator was broken(sliding up and down the center electrode)... Another functional plug was installed(only two of those left before needing to buy one), and re-fueled, and the miss finally went away... Maybe water in the fuel or something, but I've never heard of a 15k mile NGK plug failing...

Anyway, I did a compression check on 1 and 2 for a rough guess as to engine health... 2 had 190# and 1 had 140#, so I'm guessing something was damaged in the whole ordeal... Mileage is consistently down about 5% too... While in the same weekend, I switched to a 26 inch wiper blade, I doubt it was a 5%FE loss by itself...
