here's how you have to do this - as seen the nut floats above the surface.
If you are close to me I have a 89 Ranger with a 5 speed and 2.3 you can haul off for me.Hehe that's a red herring. My 1996 ranger 3.0 has an engine knock. I may be building a cheap turbo 2.3 for it. Need a dual plug engine. Swap in forged pistons. I already have the manifold, will machine spacers to flip it forwards, make a divorced wastegate adapter, grab eBay turbo and intercooler. It's too bad there are no wc T5's left in this country. I have the mid shift tailhousing. Brown top injectors are only $25 ea on rock auto. With a big shot of methanol, I'd hope to see 350 hp.
Lol, yeah the 8 plugs is why I mentioned it. I can pull the head and ship it if you want to mess with it, I don't mind.Thanks for the offer, though! I'm in Saskatchewan. Where abouts is the truck? Also I just found out 89 may be dual plug. I thought that started in 1991. Ah, you're in Texas. I guess not as far as .. Panama.. haha

The Pacesetter headers are cheap and have 1 3/4 primaries with a nice 3inch collector exit. They may not last in your area without additional coating though...holy cow may as well be a mile of interference between my ebay bbk knockoff headers and the steering shaft. I'll post some photos, I don't think it's fixable, nor do I really want to screw around with it, installing and removing the headers over and over again and smashing dents into the primaries.
