    Spark plug ended up being ok, threads were still there.
    Turning the boost up to 11psi, tried to about an hour ago but the boost controller wasn't working properly.
    Im hoping to be close to 300whp with 11psi, If not ill have to get some 60lb injectors and just go up :D

    Summit carries a kit thats for m14x1.25, I am going to give that a shot.
    If this head is unfixable I might save up for a new mystery e head or build my own.

    Front right wheel bearing is pretty dead too. Fix one issue and on to another issue.

    Just got ground control coilovers on too. :(((((((((((((((((

    But with the herrafrush is the handling kinda sketchy? Or did you already have zero suspension travel to speak of when you were running the TRMs?
    I had good travel with Trms, That stupid broken sway bar mount is making my car lower. Rubbing is minimal even being stupid low on huge tires.
    Im getting a new sway bar, getting in reinforced and some street camber plates to raise it 1/8" and to give me a bit better clearance.

    I rubbed with 225/50/15s because of that broken sway bar issue that I just found.



    Tight clearance as you can see
