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. Landshark 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 :p |

Jim keeps his vehicles for at least 30 years. 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... |
