3- JRust (sorry Jamie, but the first time I met you was the time the spark plug blew out of your creamsicle tribute)
???
I don't know about the award but man does that bring back memories. Talk about a shit show. It go better when I went to get he dye to chase the threads. Without realizing it had a time cert which had come out with the spark plug. Then the damn dye fell right through the spark plug hole which was larger than my dye
. What was more amazing was the fact I got it out with a magnet. Without needing to pull the motor & head
. Yeah that was a route 66 that I won't ever forget
Add this to Jamies above account. The engine was "HOT", the Sun was hot and it was in Bull Head City, AZ.I fiddle
with it for 5 mins before professing that any attempts to remove the Heli-Coil from the cylinder would be futile. I was shocked to find you managed regardless my warnings.
This wasn't some piece of metal that you could snag with a mirror and pull out. I was the same size as the hole unless you could hold the Heli-coil against the hole while turning it to thread it out of the cylinder. I'm still amazed when I think about it.
