Bringing the family home across the pa turnpike, I heard a horrible sound that sounded like a flat. With the cattle shoots the way they are now, it took me a half mile to find a place to pull over. Not sure why I didn't keep going, if it was a flat it would have been Impossible to change it there.
When I stopped I noticed the sound was still there, so I popped the hood thinking I blew off the exhaust on my v10 excursion. Right on top was the coil, broken off and arcing away on the intake manifold. Shut off the engine, inspected the damage, and realized there was nothing to do but drive another 100 miles home on 9 cylinders.
Yesterday I picked up a helicoil pack for spark plugs and put it in, with the help of lots of grease. The rtv is setting now, hopefully when it's done, plug and coil go back on and its issue free. Otherwise I need a new head.
