OK, not directly a 914 problem; Thankfully, my 914 is running fine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Can't say the same for my 2005 F150 that decided to fire a spark plug from the #3 cylinder hole. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Heard a ticking sound that progressively became louder then, kaaPow!. Fired that sucker right out of the threads. Broke the coil and split the spark plug. WOW. I would like to say that this was unique, but the same thing happened to another cylinder about a year ago. Helicoil solved it. This is getting stupid. Anyone else have this type of problem? Wonder if Ford had a recall regarding this. Only 85K on the engine...Fix and sell? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) Found On Road Dead? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) |
