I too would like to say thanks. Last Friday I called to get my spark plugs changed.....normally not such a big deal in a car right....well my plugs were orig. and had 98k miles on them. They had me come right over and got it done for me.

WOW What a difference. I didnt think it was running that bad but it idles perfect now and so much more power.

I know this is not a major thing they did but still wanted to put in my thanks.

Gregg

It has a bent rod. It looks like it was hydrolocked. But not from water. From a really bad blown head gasket. You had very little coolant.

Wow that sucks. Put in a LSX 454 with twin turbos and direct port spray. That will make you feel better.
