I left work and stopped to fill up at the gas station. Shut my 1993 explorer off and filled up. When I started to leave, it barely started and was running terrible. I pulled each plug wire to see if there was any notice change in idle. Looking under the hood, the back left cylinder made a...

Anyone have this in there swampers? I bought these brand new so they aren't patches. Maybe left over from the manufacturer's process? They rode horrible and 60mph + was scary. This might have had something to do with it! One was loose inside rolling around.

I found a youtube video on a homemade angle finder holder that is simple to make. Since I had the metal I needed for this, I built one instead of buying. I actually made 3. Two for myself and one for a friend.
