Rob,
I still think since you're continually burning up #1 plug that its gotta be the injectors. svtjay was suggesting to try moving that injector to another cylinder and see if it follows it. Or, figure out how to bite the bullet and get the 60#'ers in there already. If you can change plugs, you can install em yourself and then get the tune changed.

Now about the combustion temps. Get the snow perf. kit!
A 50/50 mix of methanol and water will give you the best air charge cooling, detonation control, and control of cylinder temperature.

I'd certainly get a cheaper plug as well until you figure things out.

 

Speaking of combustion temps....#1 chamber on the right side cylinder head is the last place the coolant sees before it exits the motor. In other words combustion chambers #1 and #5 are the last to be cooled in the loop.

VERY INTERESTING FACTS DALE, THANKS
Agreed Air Troop, Sal is getting me injectors as we speak and strongly feels this will take care of my issues. He also assures me these are the same inserts he has, so I'm feeling a little better about the situation now,
and pray this nightmare will soon be behind me.

BUT MAN OH MAN DOES IT SUCK DRIVING IT AROUND AND NOT GOING WOT
(#@%@#($%@($%@$%@$(@$@$@$@$%@$%@#$^%@($@$

 

Just spoke to my engine builder about Rob's plug inserts. They are heat treated aluminum, NOT steel.

 

What type if insert is used in the Patriot heads?

 

That is good news Rob, would have sucked to have to fix that problem. Rob get your freaking truck fixed already so Sal has some time for mine. Stop hogging all the PSP time from us

 

I FRUCKING LOVE YOU SAL

WOO HOO



ROB HAS HEAT TREATED ALUMINUM INSERTS

Sal CAN I SPRAY NOW

 

BTW Sal
I knew it was those dam injectors all the time

OK OK
I'll do it to myself so you dont have to




BTW
Came to the shop in the L yesterday but missed you
Had the kid with me AND I was wearing my glasses
Figured you would'nt hit a guy with glasses in front of his kid

 

I think I heard you stop by. I had the van and the 05 pulled in the shop and had all the doors locked because I was trying to get some work done in the office.

 

WOULD YOU HAVE HIT ME IN FRONT OF THE KID

 

This changes EVERYTHING, WOO HOO

Sal is talking care of the Injector situation, and I'll be out there racing with my Bro's and LA come fall after all

 

step away from the caffeine

 

I thought what Rob was on was supposed to make you mellow?

 

Are you kidding? I would have hit the kid too!!
