Should I do another Helicoil
I have a 99Gt and 6 months ago I had to helicoil the #6 plug on the cylinder head, on my way home Sunday I heard a ticking sound, then the poping sound as I lost power. This time it was the #5. Is it worth doing another helicoil, should I just purchase new cylinder heads(not stock PI heads), or just get another engine. From what I understand, if one starts blowing eventually they will all blow out. So far I have no engine damage. I need your suggestions. By the way my engine has almost 110,000 miles on it.

New motors are always nice but can you foot the bill? If you buy a new one it has to be forged and good heads since youre there. If #6 is still ok I would just Helicoil #5. and drive on until you can afford the good stuff.
Last option is to see if Venom will trade you motors :D |
