I guess you just can't rule anything out. I'll have to look at your posts and check out that bolt. Funny - in the course of my search, I think I stumbled across that thread. But again - in one ear and out the other. I think I need to stop cleaning my ears...

I did think the cap and rotor had more pitting than they should for only 15K. If the spacing wasn't consistent, I suppose that could cause arcing.
Wait a minute - I just remembered when I did my front timing cover oil leak I removed that bolt. It was fine from what I recall. I'll check it again anyways. But I might just go ahead and replace the plugs with the correct Bosch plugs and gap them properly at .032.
