I am blaming y'all
OK, you talked me into having work done on my old truck by somebody
else. They couldnt figger out the problem with it "missing" so I told em to replace the plugs. Aluminum head right, you are s'posed to put penetrating oil down into the plug well for a while before trying, they didnt, STRIPPED ONE OUT the fu*&^%ng morons. They told me they were waiting for an "insert" to put in it (goes from smaller threads to bigger ones). I thought there was something wrong with this so I used their calipers to measure the stripped hole and the plug. Stripped hole is .063, plug is .055, hmm. By the time I got home I remembered "Helicoils" although I have never used em. Today, I went to NAPA and a cute girl told me all about them so I went back to the shop and asked em why they didnt use them and they told me they had no experience with em. I told them that if they couldnt get it done by this afternoon to tow it to my place and I would fix it. |
