Thanks THEY WORK WELL BUT IF THE SUMP IS ALLOY U HAVE TO BE CAREFULL NOT TO CRACK IT,THEY ACT JUST LIKE A RAWPLUG ,U DRILL A HOLE TO THE RIGHT SIZE THEN SCREW THEM IN THEN SCREW THE BOLT IN,IF U GET IT RIGHT THEY WILL LAST FOREVER,BUT BE CAREFULL!

pilninggas Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 if you are unsure, get an engineering shop to so it for you. often it works out cheaper as they will have loads of coil options and better kit for doing it. Also they will be used to the process and less likely that it will go wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
