Well if you install them and put the RTV on them like a 2yr yes they will look like ****....

This my take some work but i would recommended getting rid of that stupid Downpipe that comes with these headers and try to go this route. In some way shape or form.

Re: Spark Plug tips gone!!!

when i 1st got my car i had a misfire and come to find out the tip on cyl. #4 was gone. but i have no damage to the engine from what i know. he may not have damage. u never know
 
Re: Spark Plug tips gone!!!

It's always nice to hope...but with no flow mods and high compression...I highly doubt it.
 


Re: Spark Plug tips gone!!!

Pull the plugs and put 103's in it, and hope that the damage was just isolated to plug. Id have a shop bore scope the effective cylinders and see if the piston looks like a dog chewed on it
 
Re: Spark Plug tips gone!!!

well yea i understand his reason since he didnt have flow mods but i did. idk where the tip went off my spark plug. maybe ill find it when i pull the motor lol
 
Re: Spark Plug tips gone!!!

You won't find it...it'll be burned up in the combustion chamber...what you will find...is a chunk of your piston missing.
 
Re: Spark Plug tips gone!!!

maybe the spark plug just got dropped and the piece broke off outside the engine :p lol. i will never know since i bought the car with a misfire and it was that simple spark plug fix
 


Re: Spark Plug tips gone!!!

So i am planning on the worst case Here are my new plans
  1. Used L26 Bottom end
  2. either s1x or xp cam
  3. 110# Crow Springs
  4. Double roller timing chain
  5. SD Headers
Any imput would be greatly appricated, i am on a budget!

Skip the double roller honestly...you REALLY don't need it. You can get Crow 105's which what I'm guessing your talking about...OR...get a VS cam and use the factory valvetrain. Just a few options there. If you do get the Double Roller...the crank gear will have to be machined down so it doesn't crack or make contact with the oil pump cover
