03 Viper with approx. 3500 miles on it. Was on a ride today sled was running great suddenly just shut down. Pulled the plugs. On the center cylinder plug the ground electrode is bent down touching the center electode. The plug color is great (light tan). Cylinder seems to have some compression, just from putting finger over hole and pulling over. Changed the plugs and of course it wont run. The engine is not seized. I can get it to start, seems to be running on two cylinders. I am going to pull it apart soon to find out what happened. I can do the work myself but want to know what could have caused the plug to do that. Ring? Predetonation? I dont think there is a hole in piston. I would just like some ideas before the tear down begins. I know it can be fixed but want to fix the cause.
Forgot to mention running a Tempa flow. Ran it all last year with it 2600 miles. When it stopped today I was not running wot.
