Consumer Description

SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF CYL. # 3 DUE TO LACK OF THREADS IN CYLINDER HEAD, OR LACK OF MATERIAL IN THAT LOCATION. THE TRITON V SERIES ENGINES HAVE AN INHERENT PROBLEM WITH BLOWING THE PLUGS OUT, IT WILL COST BETWEEN 2500- 4000 TO FIX ONE PLUG BLOW OUT, PUTTING IN INSERTS ONLY CAUSES THE REPAIR AGAIN AT A LATER DATE. WHEN IS THE GOVERNMENT GOING TO STEP IN AND SAY ENOUGH, THE PUBLIC HAS ALREADY. *TR
