[QUOTE="AnarchyVA, post: 15456843, member: 182933"] Hello. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Chris. I'm not new to the Mustang scene. I'm on V8 Mustang #5. However I am new to the Cobra scene. I picked up a 2003 black convertible with 25,000 miles on it two weeks ago. I love it. She's beautiful. But I've run into a few kinks since bringing it home. Kinks that I am trying to iron out. I've replaced the convertible top cylinders and hoses. I have a vibration in the front end that I need to chase down. I've already aligned it and balanced all wheels. I'm thinking it may be in the tie rods and/or bearings. And today, while swapping pullies/plugs I found that the plug well for cylinder #8 has quite a bit of corrosion and debris down inside of it. I changed out plugs 1-7 but stopped at 8 for fear of removing it and the debris falling inside of the cylinder. What I need your help with is: [LIST] [*]Is this a sign of a larger, possibly catastrophic problem? Or is it mostly cosmetic, once cleaned up? I believe the corrosion came from the engine bay being power washed and water seeping in under the coil cover. [*]How do I get this cleaned up? I want to get that plug out but I can't until it is clean. I've already sprayed compressed air in the well but it didn't do too much. [*]Would it be a big deal if I drove with the TR6 plugs in 1-7 and the stock plug in 8? [/LIST] Here are pics of the car and the situation with spark plug #8. [ATTACH=full]698923[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]698924[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]698925[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]698926[/ATTACH] Please help!!! This weekend it is 75 degrees out. I just fixed the top last night. I was hoping to have some fun cruising around today with the top down and with a new pulley. Now I fear that that something bad is going on. Thank you!!! [/QUOTE]
