well the other day i was changing my spark plugs and they were super hard and one broke on me i tried to take it off and i couldn't take it off i talked to my mechanic and he said that he would have to take off the head and take it to the head shop and he said it would cost about 400 bucks , do you think it's really worth it ? btw it's a B1 ?

 

well ask yourself this... is it worth driving a car with only 3 cylinders firing? You mechanic is right, the head will need to be removed so that the plug can be drilled out and the hole rethreaded, it cant be done while on the car without causing damage to you piston or leaving foreign material in the motor. Id suggest finding a new head and having it decked flat, possible rebuilding it and it would cost about the same. next time use some anti seize when installing plugs and this wont happen again

 

well my motor is low miles but i can get a a6 for 200 but has more miles and thanks for the tip

 

seriously how hard is it to find a d16a6 or zc sohc replacement head in los angeles for cheap...craigslist is your friend...!!!

 

not hard but you can't find nothing local

that's to far for me

 

whats your radius and from what city...!!!

 

close to lax so that would be around 1hr or so

 

hit up miklo in the link below since he has a clean head in pasadena...he can also install it for you if you ask...!!!

it's a dx head right ?

 

its says dpfi so im assuming que si...regardless it will still work if you later decide to go mpfi...!!!

 

Big Chorizo seems to know everyone selling parts in Cali haha xD jk

 

i am one of the few who actually have the tendency of using the search function...besides i knew that whitey ford had one for sale anyways

 

Why not just fix it yourself? $400 seems like a rip-off.

 

$400 is not a rip-off when you consider the labor that will be going into it. Mechanics aren't cheap, never have been, hence why I learned to wrench myself

 

sounds like it's time for a upgrade!

now you have an excuse
