What the hell is this?

[Nautilusvt]

Swapping plugs before bolting the new blower on I find this in the rear passenger side plug hole...

All of the other three cyl on that side are spotless...

They all looked fine last summer when I swapped plugs, since then maybe 1000 miles on them and it sat for the last 7 months.

Wtf????????

Never seen anything like that before. Almost looks like sand.

It was kind of dark in the garage so at first I thought it was sand. But after getting the light it kind of looks like a wax. I'll try to scrape some out and get a close up picture.

How does the coil pack look? Maybe it's some kind of insulation in that?

sawdust.

Relax man...it can be normal for some Terminators...
It's from water running down the cowl, into your engine bay which causes the condensation and what not. (debri, sand...whatever)
Both of my rear plug holes had this on my Terminator...no biggie, but it wasn't as bad as yours. As long as the coilpack boot is sealed well and no water is getting in the hole, you should be fine...

Can't believe Divided never knew this, you SVTperformance Veteran...
You must be losing your game since you got rid of your Terminator. I want to see you in another one, that has less Driveline issues.

Im sure Jomo is right, but that still looks rough lol

Noticed the same issue in mine years back when I swapped plugs.

LOL. I've never seen this before. Only thing I ever found in mine was shavings from blowing the plug

I do miss the terminator for sure. Not my particular one, but them in general.

Sorry OP for the temp hijack.

I'll take the yella stuff over the metal shavings for sure.

Thanks for the help, it cleaned up well & I made sure that rubber plug on the back was seated well this time.
