Count me in! Michael+1.
Great thread-my extenders melted when the engine overheated, and the compound melted around the spark plugs and solidified like melted wax. Had...
Update: I am still alive. Can't believe the car hasn't been running for over 2 and a half years now-life gets busy. The water manifold proved to...
Hi Art, I am in North Arlington. PM me if you want to swing by sometime and take a look at the car/motor. I'm still trying to figure out the...
