i looked for that name in the directory, no one listed. what can i do myself to see if its the heads. i pray its not. i had a 2000 Gt that was improperly tuned and the motor blew. will a screwdriver up to the headbolts be able to fix it. also will an extended warranty cover the problem if this is it? thanks everyone

I may be completely wrong, but I thought 04s were fixed? I just thought I read that somewhere, probably wrong.[8D]

Nevermind, sorry, they definitely hadn't fixed it until 2005. I don't know where I got that 03s were the ones with the issue and that 04s were fixed. Just ignore me. I'm still learning my way around SVT world.
