[QUOTE="oexing, post: 132730, member: 1493"] Spark plug sand blasting is done routinely with aircraft plugs when running them in avgas fed engines and their lead content. There you get lead fouling quickly when not caring for lean mixture and only full rich for take-off. You don´t bin aircraft plugs at 30 Pounds each easily. The Gunson type in the link below is quite allright for home use when you got an air compressor. But certainly it lacks a real tester with buzzer ht coil and pressure testing at max. 10 bar. Long time ago there were blasting and testing devices like from Champion, often found in car garages but these days you find them in Ebay at collectors prices mostly - or new from India, like in the youtube link.
