RE: Official off topic thread!!!
Just had to go help out my friend with his protege. It has a habit of blowing spark plugs out of the holes. This is the second time it did it, the first time it actually stripped the threads in the cylinder head. He put another one in, but his coil and boot are pretty badly damaged, he was going to try and make it home on 3 cyl, we shall see if it works. If not I may have to lend him the Accord.

Perhaps he should consider swapping the head gaskets to something a bit thicker to lower the CR.

Dam it blew a plug out? That's pretty intense I guess those con rods are strong enough not to bend when you hydrolock, I wish that was the gas with R/C engines.
