had a little bit of bad luck on sunday. about a month ago I noticed what sounded like an exhaust leak. so I put her in the air and snugged up all the exhaust clamps, but that didn't take care of it. my next thought was "great a ****in head tick", but I wasn't sure. I took it up to a local ford dealership and had a friend that works there take a look at it. he listened to it with a stethascope and he didn't think that was the problem. so I thought maybe a leak from the head to the manifold. fast forward to sunday, the day started off great with me goin south the hang out with supercarkiller and take some pics of the cobras (his looks WAYYYY better than mine.) on the way back home I took my exit and stopped at a light and the car was runnin like serious shit. as soon as I stopped it starting bucking and idled at about 400 rpms. so I take off from the light nice and easy and she's runnin like trash so I immediately pull off the road and pop the hood. I stick my head next to the passenger side head and tap the throttle and that's when it happened. i hear a pop on the back side of the head and the coil pack cover pops up towards the rear of the head. after that she started knockin REAL hard so I shut her down immediately. I get it towed 39 miles back to where I store her and proceed to take her apart a little. pop the coil pack cover off and proceed to pull out the rear coil pack and guess whats still attached...the spark plug. the plug was completely beat to shit and the threads were stripped right off of it. I haven't torn it apart yet to actually find out what really happened but I'm pretty sure she dropped a valve. my wife and I are buying a house and we should be moving towards the end of march. so once I get the cobra all tucked in I'll take her apart and start a nice build. I'll post up pics of the spark plug tomorrow and keep you guys posted on the progress. needless to say its gonna be a WHILE before its done
