they sent me a claim form and i hafta send them in for analysis, after some research i was 1 or 2 heatranges to hot cause the tip to melt off. Your car should have run on them, either you didnt regap them, they come gapped to .042, we need .028, or you chose the wrong heat range.

Anyways heres progress

Yea most of the work I have done in the parking lot, its prettty much all i got

Hey man, remember, you have a welder at your disposal, if it has a little damage, theres no harm in trying to fill in a ding, or a small crack on an otherwise worthless head.

Aluminum, tricky to weld. Cast Aluminum, damn near impossible. It can be done but jeez, Good luck though.
