major problem

[172kid81]

was driveing my 172 yesterday when smoke came from back of car.i pulled over to check. o my god what a major blow this was. the car wont start again.just heard from local dealer that up to now they have found a MELTED spark plug in her and the head is coming off to check what damage is done. the car has only done 20,000 miles. and before people saying it i wasnt blasting her and yes she did have water an oil. not being nasty but as you can problay guess bit pissed off.

It can happen. check your injectors on the one where its gone wrong.

Use correct spark plugs and have them torque right.

I'd bet its piston 3.

Get a second hand engine realy. Still repairing one valve shoulnd't be that much realy.
