since you didnt see it was missing any plugs you may have put them on the wrong side

Garhfer · November 17th, 2010, 11:20 PM

i'd be happy its such a simple fix. You could have a lot worse problems..

stal94gt · November 17th, 2010, 11:24 PM

the heads are not driver/passenger specific thats why you may have messed them up.

well I hope I did, taking off the cover and swapping the plugs would be a relief compared to taking off the heads

stal94gt · November 17th, 2010, 11:53 PM

you would still have to pull the heads cause the 2 plugs on the bottom of the head

i thought you meant that maybe i put the heads on opposite so the plugs were just in the wrong holes? if that was true then the bottom ones would be in? i dunno why else you would mention that i maybe put them in wrong lol

Damn sorry man, and I think thats an understatement saying its an easy fix. Fuck that who wants to deal with that bs after rebuilding the motor? Sorry man, but atleast you now know what it is. Thanks to the beastly MM crew.

stal94gt · November 18th, 2010, 12:34 AM

if you accidently put the wrong head on the wrong side you will have to take them off and flip them. there are 2 plugs per head, 1 under the head, 1 on what is supposed to be the back of the head. if you put them on the wrong sides that means you have plugs under your chain guides, and the plugs on the bottom of the heads are in the wrong spot which means your pluging a whole where oil is supposed to pass threw and letting oil out of a spot where oil is not. reguardless you have to take off your heads to make sure everything is wright. sure it sux putting the extra time to fix it but not doing it means you cant drive

x2 and IMO heads arent too bad. I mean it takes a while but not really brain surgery.

Garhfer · November 18th, 2010, 12:43 AM

naw I'm positive I put the heads on right well, I examined the old heads and put them on exactly the way they were, examined them before i put them on just wasn't looking for the plugs... man that totally sucks

stal94gt · November 18th, 2010, 12:47 AM

there is no right or left head. ford does this and so does chevy, its so they only have to make 1 cast of the head. you may have put them on with out seeing that they did not install new plugs. or you may have put them on backwards. regaurdless the heads have to come off if this is your problem. hell you could have them on 100% right and messed up putting on the valve covers

WhiteVenom · November 18th, 2010, 12:50 AM

Bottom line is thats where your problem is so you need to tear into and hunt for mischief
