So KISS just isn't going to fit this truck. Every time I work on it there is setback after setback. I've been working on getting the engine bay cleaned up and ready for some color. It is just about ready. As I was working on pulling the header out to give me some more room to work. I taped off the exhaust ports and noticed the # 2 sparkplug was loose(WTF?) I thought maybe I had pulled it earlier for some reason but I don't remember, anyways I try to tighten it and find that the threads are stripped on a head with maybe 5,000 miles on it
So not a major issue but still means pulling the head, and either replacing or heli-coiling, and the cost of a gasket and other related parts that could really be aimed at finishing the rest of it. I don't know this first time baggin a truck is really kicking my arse for some reason...lol maybe I should have started with a radio flyer
