hey, you ever realize that when you or anyone else decide to
get together for say Dayton or some other hoe down that the
numbnuts get all excited and post all sorts of crap. Kinda
funny actually...


Yea I realize it Jim. It's a shame two or three no code
walkie-talkie operators have nothing better to do on Usenet than
poke CBer's with a pointy stick.

At any rate, did you watch that video?

nope didn't see it yet. still ****ed that i broke a sparkplug in
the cylinder head of the truck. gonna have to pull the head to
get it out...


You've tried the eze-out?

just talked to the mechanic and it seems there was a bolt that was
securing a plate over the exhaust manifold that snapped and somehow
let coolant drip into the spark plug opening in the head which
caused it to rust into the head. f ing eh they have to pull the
head and its going to cost several hundred to fix.


I've been there with that ****, Jim. Oh well, you'll have new head
gaskets
and such from the deal. How long were those plugs installed on that
vehicle?

61k miles. only one head as the other side looks ok. mechanic said
it was a problem with the old 318's but this is the first time with
the new engine.

New in 1975 30 years old and only 61k and one bum plug.

Not bad service! Jim keeps his vehicles for at least 30 years.

The Bronco is 32years old, so it's no spring chicken.

Landshark


Heard that, 39 years for the Belvedere.
38 for my schwinn with the big tires

please, if that was the case then i'd still be driving the coronet 440.
the final tally on the frozen plug in the head was the head had cracks
around all 3 cylinders. bye bye head and 800 bux...


Bummer. I thought I'd lost a valve last week,
lucky though just a bad carburetor.

Landshark


good part is that my neighbor has lent me his mustang gt ragtop for the
week...
