Meh, I'll just sell it if it gets fucked up : ) hahaha. I don't even care anymore.

Haha, nice... that's about all i can say.

I'll give ya $500 for the car as it sits. If you just don't care why even post. Seriously don't come here and ask for help and turn around a bitch about why the car is down later on.

I'm venting.

I'm venting.

So is he! ;)

Im sure he wont be selling it, I said that soo many times when my talon was giving me trouble, well actually it still is since it doesnt run yet.......................hhhmmmmm................ .....................93 Talon AWD FS!!

JK. :D

Yeah I really wouldn't sell it. And if for whatever reason my car gets messed up becasue of this (I seriously doubt it will) I won't bitch here. On that note, I DID IT! I frickin' did the scariest thing ever to my car. I drilled into the head, and tapped if for a heli coil. Putting in the actual heli coil was a bitch because the kit I borrowed from my work has been worn over the years. I test fit the bango bolt (I even ran a die over the bolt, refreshed the threads) and it goes in like a dream. I put the line on and torqued, cranked the car, and I get a dribble of oil coiming out. Whats fix? Thread sealant. I'm gonna slather some Permatex thread sealant with teflon (we've all used that before) right now, and put on some new crush washers.

[sleepydsm]

Again though, thank you all for the help and advice! If this doesnt work, I'll pull the head :)

[AJ]

Glad it's seeming to work out alright for ya.

Teflon doesn't actually seal threads, it just allows you to gain a better torque advantage on the thread surface to hole contact area.

Oh. Well I used thread sealer, with teflon in it. To seal the thread. im gonna let it sit for a few hours. Tonight I'll crank it over.

Ya learn something new everyday. I still can't believe I managed to put a heli coil in right. Again, thanks everyone. Thanks for putting up with my shit ;)
