Yeah man I agree, even if u have to throw ur old motor in for a while just to fix the 04 cobra block. Doesn't mean u have to sell it u could hold on to it right? Then you could fix it when u get the chance

There all being helicoiled by a local engine builder, 5$ a hole. He assures me they will be stroger than the stock threads, and considering i hate taping things myself and taping all those holes in time consuming and im on a time frame so im just letting him do it, droppin the motor of tomorrow

Om just hoping the plug threads arent stripped, but it seems like every single thing that was touched is stripped

Well thats good to hear man, hopefully he can either rethread them or helicoil them.

Are moost of them completely stripped like no thread left at all? Or are they crossthreaded really bad?

He said theres no way they were stripped, the motors good it held 630rwhp and so on, then later he said had problems with like two header holes that he used longer bolts with...... Something which should o been mentioned in the first place, the other 15 stripped holes must of grew legs and went to the strip club and stripped themselves i guess.

Also for only have 77 miles and 15 dyno pulls the oil was black, prob bull**** there too. Guess i cant take anyones word now a days, i knew something was up when i said to him how do i know its a 04 cobra block and he said because its cast iron, all gt blocks were aluminum LOL but i didnt wanna argue.
