Well I thought I would share some bad news.

I had this drip of coolant under the car so I thought that I better check it out.

Ahh just as I thought it was the drain plug on the passenger side.
(I could tell by the location of the drip on the floor)

Car up on the ramps and tires blocked I slid under with a 13 mil and tightened it about a 1/4 turn, when it got looser and started to leak worse.

I put the pan under and removed the plug to find that all the threads stayed with the plug.

I don't know why I did not notice this when the engine was out. Must be the Deb's fault, she must have interrupted me when I was installing it.

So now I have to tap it out to the next size with the exhaust in the way.

If I could kick my ass there would not be enough time for the major ass kicking that I would do.

Tomorrow I have to get a 1/4 pipe tap, mine has walked off somewhere.

Life goes on :rolleyes:

At least you know what you have to do to fix it. I hate those problems that you just have to shake your head and hope for direction!

Murphy only shows up at my place after I'm done (so I thought)

How was your week end, good I hope?

I got to do a little tuneing but ever since the electromotive update I have had a lot of blue screens.
Uninstalled but it has not fixed it (there must be a bad del in there somewhere)

I lowered the fuel pressure to 55 to fix some rich idle issues,
but I am still running out of fuel at the top end, and have maxed it out.

Waiting all week for Roger to get back to me, as I need some 24lb/hr injectors.

I hope you all have a great 928 week.

I refuse to use those block drains for just this reason. My luck, the bolt heads would snap off if I even thought about putting a wrench on them.
