This bulletin is being revised to delete the Grand Prix models. This bulletin cancels and replaces bulletin 92-6-36 issued 4/92. Please discard bulletin
92-6-36.
This bulletin is to inform technicians of a change in the spark plugs for vehicles with the 3300 MFI (Code N) engine, the 3800 TPI (Code L) engine, and
the 3800 Supercharged (Code 1) engine.
In February of 1992, a new spark plug was released in production for the engines listed above to improve the spark plug to spark plug boot connection.
Exposure to underhood temperatures over periods of time has the tendency to increase the bond between the boot and the spark plug ceramic. In the past,
different lubricants have been used in the spark plug boots with varying success. This new spark plug was released to reduce this bonding condition and
to improve the dielectric strength between the plug and the boot.
This new spark plug can be visually identified by its smooth ceramic surface, the ridges have been removed (see figure 1). These new spark plugs have
an anti-stick material coating baked onto the spark plug's outer ceramic surface. This coating is clear with a slightly waxy feel. To further help identify
the new spark plug, the type number has been changed to 41-600 from R45LTS6.
To maintain the reduced bonding characteristics, the Service Replacement Spark Plug 41-600 must be used, Service Package Number 5614253. The
41-600 Spark Plug is the recommended plug to use in all 1992 models listed above.
