Quoteboxsterd It's possible I didn't put in a new crush ring but I'm 90% sure that I did. If you notice the leak pattern it looks like it may be coming from the two nuts at the bottom of the picture. I did tighten them both last night. ... Migrate like that and can make it seem as though it's coming from the bolts. The whole oil pan has a sealant so it's highly unlikely that it's from there.

... you didn't put in a new crush ring? The reason why the bit can't be re,moved is either it's not the correct size or the plug's hex had been damaged from using the wrong size bit before. I suggest you replace the old plug with a new one, making sure you have a new aluminum crush ring and use the correct size bit. The correct size bit is 8mm , not 5/16" which many people think will work. Happyby Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Main Forum

It's less expensive than the Michelin Pilot Sport (PS2) (UTQG: 220 AA A) and the Pirelli PZero (UTQG: 220 AA A) and about the same price as the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A (UTQG: 140 A A).

... With accepting donations for other boards. But this one will not accept them. I've always felt bad for the Admin, on those boards that accept donations from members. It comes a time when they have to beg in order to stay online. There are very few members that realize the value and send in their contribution without being asked. So, this board will stand on it's own thanks to the support oby Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Main Forum

That's weird because I've bought more than 50 tires from them and had only 1 problem with 1 tire. All of the tires I've bought are Kumhos. First the Ecsta 712, then the Ecsta SPT and the Ecsta XS. The one I had a problem with was due to road debris that broke an internal cord and the tire bubbled. I've been very happy and satisfied with their service and products.

... thank you. The report doesn't say who or how much, it just says that a sale was registered in that month. I'l probably supplement it with a banner from another vendor so we can compare, but right now, the TireRack banner is not earning its bandwidth.

... every 4 years, the numbers are still way off. If most people are calling TireRack on the phone to place their orders, then we need to drop the banner because we'll never generate enough commissions that way. It's good feedback we're getting.
