    How to prevent spark plug blowout

    Helicoils aren't solid, they are made of a flat wire that is wound to the correct thread pitch. Timeserts are more like a threaded bushing- they are solid and have a flange on the top so the placement is spot-on. The lock in place a lot better than a helicoil..... To me, Timeserts are much more...

    So if in a world you couldn't use subframe connectors..

    Really? The MM Launch box comes with a 6-point cage and subframe connectors.... I would run both, but then again I tend to over build things. I'd still like to see pictures of the damage you speak of...

    REALLY need your guys' help/advice (possibly scammed)

    If it has already beena week, I would think you are OK. I think that commonly happens within 3 days.. is that what you have found in your research? I know there is a big dealership here in town that has done that to a couple friends of mine... its BS. You and your GF might not have the same...

    So if in a world you couldn't use subframe connectors..

    If you do a 6 point cage you would want a solid set of SFC's to tie the cage into. If your subframes are so bad you cant install a set of connectors, I'd say you need to take it to a chasis shop to make sure everything is square and aligned properly.

    Anyone want to help with a Ford Focus problem?

    so you are saying that bank one, sensor 2 is the 02 sensor off the exhaust manifold, NOT the aftercat sensor?

    Anyone running 275/55/r17's?

    I'd go for the 275/40 's. BFG KDW2's would be a good choice.... or the Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3's.

    What would happen if there was no more Ford?

    Ford is spending money on retooling their plants to produce more fuel efficient cars. Gas is down right now, but by the time these new cars roll out of the plant, gas will be back up. I think Ford will be OK, as they are making more strategic changes. I just bought a brand new Ford, and...

    What would happen if there was no more Ford?

    I agree that the big 3 are American legends. I dont think handing them a huge check is the right answer, but who knows what the right answer is? I think they should make them restructure their opterations and present how they are going to change. If the government likes what they see, loan them...
