And if you do; well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand, if you want to.
I think this is how love goes, check yes or no.

Alot of times all it takes is a simple phone call from a lawyer to scare companies into warrantying there work cause they know it will cost less to just fix your car then go to court.

I'm a professional comedian... Don't try this at home.



Seriously though, you can try anything but don't get your heart or your wallet set into them fixing it.

When I was putting together the top end of my block the buddy I had helping me never wanted to use the torque wrench. I had to really watch him and make him use it.

The plastic intakes on the 4.6s sure look like they would crack easily.

These old school guys are just so used to cranking down everything until the wrench slips. And forget about tightening in the correct pattern...that's just for wheels man!

cmon guys... hand tight with one hand and a 1/4 drive ratchet is all you need for intake bolts, no need to waste time gettin out the torque wrench.

far as workmanship even if the intake was already cracked I don't think it would make your car nock the way it was in the video. Definetly heard vacume leak witch it goes with cracked intake but that nock was bad that would be more concerning to me than a cracked intake that americam muscle sells new for around 200 dollars.

well, i know the knocking wasnt from the intake, or what ever it is. thats somthing else i need to figure out also. the guy said he replaced all the lash adjusters on that side but i think he was full of crap since he only billed me for 100 dollars on doing it. the adjusters would cost about 80 bucks by themselves. When i went to pick the car up, i took it around the block because i still herd the ticking, thought it may go away once the set in, brought it back and the guy said "well..... it wasnt doing it last night". (i thought it was a little funny)
Anyone from the south east think were going to get somthing to worry about out of Hanna?

you need to call the BBB and dependent upon what happens next get an attorney to write a convincing letter for you.
