I thought I read a post of someone putting red locktite on his oil pan drain plug

At least you didnt put red loktite on your oil draing plug... take 22 hours to install a 4-hour driveshaft... mess up your mirror painting so you bought new mirrors anyways... Took 22 hours over 3 days to install shorty headers...

We won't even get intothe eclipse I had as a teenager!!!

Sometimes it takes up to 2 weeks of DRIVING for the problem to really occur when you got warped heads. I guess just drive it for 500 miles or so and hopefully you'll be aight.

RE: I WIN THE STUPIDITY AWARD

i doubt you did any serious harm

7 miles = the car was just starting to heat up

just make sure you dont have any air bubbles in your cooling system and you are good to go

Well I had my car sitting for 5 days changing the rear pads because I couldn't find the tool to retract the rear piston from the caliper.
