    head problem

    have any of you put in the heli coil yourselves. i bought a "HeliCoil" name brand kit that will just retap the hole and put in a threaded adapter. no drilling.... seems simple enough, just the hole is kinda deep and you can't really get good feel on the tap. the kit was $35 talked to a...

    tail lights

    If you handy with a spray gun, you can mix clear with some black. if you start light, you can keep going till you get the look you are looking for. this is also alot better than the spray tint you buy in the can which i would not recomend

    enlgine light

    I have double checked everything and it all seem right. I don't believe anything happened to the sensor during installation. would a bad air sensor or anything to do with the K&N air filter system give me a "lean" code on each bank? Patrick
