Title: Turned over without plugs in heard a pop
Post by: notagix on November 16, 2011, 01:24:11 PM

While winterizing my 07 B1250 I put some oil in the cylinders then turned it over without the spark plugs in and heard a pop. Can you damage the electronics this way?

you shouldnt hurt any thing.
an old trick is to pull the plugs, put a few squirts of diesil in each hole and give it a few turns on the starter. stops the rings and bores from rusting and its not going to hurt anything at all

Thanks for the reply, heard a pop, don't know what that was.

Maybe an electrical pop of the spark intended for the plug finding a ground elsewhere?

Maybe the "pop" was more of a fast whoosh as when the pistons are coming up they are creating pressure that blows out the spark plug hole creating noise. Think of it as blowing on a pop bottle x20. Or a subsonic report out of a firearm.
