No pics, but finished doing the plugs and wires on the G. Car had a misfire under low RPMs, finally took the time to attack it.

Forgive me, since I don't know the actual firing order, I'll just refer the cylinder #'s from right to left, facing the front of the car. With that said, cylinder 2 showed signs of the tube gasket failing. Motor oil on the plug, a decent amount too. Using one of the clean old plugs, I used that to catch the remaining oil from the threads. Used a clean rag to get the rest of the excess in the spark plug tube.

Looking into the valve cover gasket and tube seals for replacement soon.

I might have to try this when I have the money to spare, but definitely after I have my springs on. At stock height I think its not gonna be as good lol.

Thats why I don't parallel park... I picked up an 03 eclipse today, getting the g ready for stripping :)

**Corey2kG** · 02-20-2012, 07:12 PM

Yeah. So what happened was I was driving normally I was stopped at a light on a hill there was 3 or 4 cars in front of me. When the light turned green I went. As I was reaching the top of the hill to turn. BAM!!!! It hit. I didn't see it neither did my wife. I thought everything was ok. I've hit pot holes like this before. When I finally parked I saw that. :( as far as the tire that's just the outside of the tire. I'll be replacing it but it's $110 to fix it. Now I'm wondering if I could bring it to city hall n see if they will foot the bill.

**Galantman03** · 02-20-2012, 07:16 PM

You got that from driving? Dam... they should foot the bill, they aren't mantaining their roads

**Skyforger** · 02-20-2012, 07:22 PM

Replace the tire, those Nexen N5000s aren't known for strong sidewalls. You have some sort of road hazard coverage on those? Because sidewall damage from potholes is usually covered. Plus, a nasty impact like that might have torn the inside of the sidewall, and a bubble may form soon, the N5000s don't get along with potholes at all.
