well if he doesn't its gonna cost him his business! he said he has done a few before, and im leaving him with my old man. who will watch him like an eagle the whole time!

Just make sure what ever pot he is doing that the piston is at TDC or else it's harder to clean or know what's in there, btw is it just slightly cross threaded or fully f*ked? Cuz he should really only need to tap it not put a hellicoil through it.

he tapped it. said the spark plug wasn't going all the way would have lost a lot of compression and the coil pack would have misfired.

only charged 100 bucks. standard call out fee i think. made sure there was no swarf in the piston and then made sure the spark plug went all the way in and correctly. ill let you know how she drives Monday.

but up to now i highly recommend this guy. 100 bucks is a lot cheaper than replacing broken coil pack every week!

plus he drove from narre warren (i think) to hastings and was here at 7:30 in the morning.

How will it damage the coil? U will only loose compression. Good to hear that it's all fixed

I had this issue last year. Ended up buying one of these.

Made fixing the thread easy as and with a decent amount of grease on the tap no worries about any metal getting in the cylinder at all. Cheaper than thread bloke and you'll always have it handy too.

    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
    • With ordering the belt, you're doing water pump and the idler and tensioner at the same time too yes?
    • This is just a dumb way of keeping the wastegate closed to make more boost. Undo it and either follow the factory setup or redo it properly. Manual boost controllers just use a spring preload to determine when to close in response to boost pressure so it no longer vents to atmosphere.
    • So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House
