[QUOTE="IronTerp, post: 4940617, member: 12702"] To reiterate what the fellas above have replied: Yes, you should do one of the head cooling mods. The factory head cooling engineering for the drivers side head was flawed and has directly/indirectly caused many reported cases of engine damage including premature valve guide wear (the tick) to actual piston damage in the 7th and 8th cylinders. The coolant has a very difficult return path to recirculation in the drivers side head, and removing either of the two freeze plugs necessary in the two kits will allow it to free flow out of the head which brings fresher, cooler antifreeze into the head. Yes, it's a hassle, but unfortunately is necessary for modded Cobras that are occassionally driven aggressively. [/QUOTE]
