Bent Spark Plug Tip
Well, I screwed up guys...
I accidentaly mixed up the spark plugs and placed the Leading into the Trailing spot and vice versa..
I have only drove the car out once and started it up to move it to and from the garage. The metal hook thing (I'm a nub, I know) that sits above the electrode is bent way off. Did the seals bang it into place? I'm guessing so..
And if so, does it mean serious damage? Please help!
I found out upon realizing that the plugs were mixed up.

If it was the trailing hole it likely just bent the tip. The trailing hole is very small and the depth is shallower than the leading plug
Trailing plugs are slightly shorter...so they won't stick into the combustion chamber in the leading hole and hit the apex seal

Thanks so much for your info! I guess I should replace the bent plug then, or will it run okay for a while?
I know it's a stupid idea, but I just want someone to correct my stupid intention :P
