I had this car in over the summer and I installed Long Tubes for him. All went well and he made great power at the dyno.
Fast forward to this past week and the car blew a spark plug out of the #4 hole (Rear Passenger Side)
No biggie, right? Go have a TimeSert put in and forget about it...... not this time.
Apparently the Ford Tech installed 2, yes TWO Timeserts and blew them both out on the test drive. Although we will never know the real truth, you have to wonder if the tech knew what he was doing.
Fast forward to yesterday and he (Ken) trailers me the car all the way from St. Louis. Within 10 minutes of having it in the garage I was able to snap this picture..... beware of what you are about to see....
How in the F????????????
I really hate to see this stuff. I get people bringing me their cars from all over the country because Ill fix it right, fast and for cheaper than anyone else. But when I see this my hopes of getting him in and out the door at a modest price diminishes.
Im pulling this head today and will have the machine shop evaluate it this week. Although I dont have a posite outlook, at least I will have tried a 'repair' before replacement.
This sucks, and it always happens to good people.
Ill update the pics and progress as I move forward.
