[QUOTE="Ironhand, post: 10367257, member: 32955"] It was a cold night with me and two larger passengers in the car. I walked through 3rd then went wot all the way through 4th and 5th. I took the car to around 6800 in 5th gear. Then it stopped pulling, so I let out. I didn't notice anything until I dropped my passengers off and heard the car knocking or ticking. She seemed down on power and ran like garbage. Upon further inspection some of the ground straps on the plugs were melted off. After replacing plugs it still ran the same even with the sound still present. I also noticed coolant leaking into the head on #8 cylinder. So I'm guessing it ate Atleast one head gasket and spun some bearings or the like. As well as getting what was left of the plugs down into the cylinders, that may have needed a new block and a lot of work. So I never took the motor apart. I sold the car, paid off the note, and cut my losses. That's why I'm building this cobra a lot different. [/QUOTE]
