  1. Thanks for the info Brett and others who replied Many kudos to you all.
  2. Thanks for you reply black_gtst. So re-tapping the thread should fix the issue even if it seems like the existing thread is breaking to pieces?
  3. Hi all, Have a bit of a drama with changing my spark plugs and I have a feeling something extremely bad has happend. Story goes, last Saturday I bought some new spark plugs (NGK BKR6ES) and tried swapping them around with my old plugs (NGK Iridiums that were put in by Gavin Wood Autotech on the Gold Coast). I cleaned the area with compressed air and used a cotton bud to take out any extra debris. All was going well until I tried replacing spark plug number 5. It went in easy for the first 3 turns then started to resist being screwed in. I didnt push any further - took the plug out and checked the thread. Nothing was wrong with it. I then looked at the old plug to see if the thread had been damaged on that one - no damage. So I left it for the week. Came back this afternoon. Had an idea to use some engine oil to lube the thread and see if that screwed in anymore. Same resistence after the third turn - only when I took the new plug out this time - there was slivers of metal that came out in the new plugs thread I then put a cotton bud down the plug hole to see if anything else would come out - a tiny bit more of metal came out Obviously this is a very bad sign. So I'm stopping all work on my car as of now and calling Marty on Monday. I need some opinions from you guys/girls on how serious this may be. For example: Do I need a new head? or is there anyway chance of saving the current head on my engine? Any helpful comments would be great. Cheers.

  21. Hi all, After changing my oil to Castrol Edge 0W-40 and my filter to a PureOne Purolater filter, I have no oil pressure. I have checked for leaks around the engine bay and nothing has been freshly spilt. The oil gauge does not move at all - on start up or high revs. Have taken the 'line on a short drive around a couple of blocks and the gauge still did not move. Engine sounds as per normal. Prior to doing the oil change the gauge was acting like normal (IE: This morning). Any clues to what it could be? Have read some threads that say the oil pressure sensor is a bit dodgy on 33's - could this be the case? Cheers, Tyrone.
