My #2 cylinder (passenger side second from front) on my 4.6L W type engine -- 4X4 -- spark plug stripped the aluminum block.

Tried to get heli coil installed unsuccessfully -- since plugs are recessed so far down inside cylinder head.

Instead in order to get it back on the road, they "glued" the spark plug into the head -- and in the process got some glue on the tip of the plug (I'm guessing) based on the continually deteriorating performance. Body is in great condition.

I'm currently on the second engine -- first one blew at 99K miles and it was replaced with a 25K mile replacement (warranty work from Ford's extended warranty thank goodness). It now has about 175K miles on it -- so this engine has roughly 100K if I'm ciphering correctly.

Should I replace the cylinder head or entire engine -- in other words do I have to take the engine out to change the head?

Any advice would be appreciated -- and NOOOOOO getting rid of it cuz it's a ford is not what I had in mind :o)

Bono wants the world to get involved with ending extreme poverty in the world citing the 9000 dead in Africa every day. Well what exactly is the world to do with the additional 3 million people a year who survive if we end poverty in Africa? Or the millions of others that would survive from other countries?

Poverty, disease, famine, flood, etc are all required in order to keep our population manageable. If all the people Bono wants to save were to stay alive then the entire world would be living in poverty in 5 years due to the population explosion. What Bono sells sounds good on a tv commercial, but if his goal were ever realized our planet would be doomed.

So, why end poverty? Why not learn to live in a world that, for good or bad, requires tradgedy in order to survive?

My Maltese started nipping since he was 2 months old. Now he is a year old. He nips when he wants attention or when he wants to play. It is starting to hurt. I can't take it anymore!

Yes, they say it's one of Michaelangelo's greatest works of art..... the marble statue of the naked David. Yes, many experts have said that the proportion is excellent. But, why do I find that David's head is a little too big for the size of his body? Whenever I see a photo of this world-famous artpiece, I really wonder if the proportion is indeed excellent. Well, if the experts find and think that the proportions of David is perfect......I guess, they see something that I don't. What do you think?

I've been cutting for awhile and I always seem depressed and alone.I don't know what started this.Well for one my best friend and i like the same guy and she hates me because of that.I told her I didn't want to lose her over this boy but she weren't tryin to hear that.But lately the cuts been getting deeper. And I've been writing depressive poetry.I had no one else to turn to so I came to answers.One night i slit my wrist and the next morning in class the cuts weren't finished scabbing over and they began to bleed
I asked my teacher could I go to the nurse when she saw the cuts she looked into my eyes and asked me what happened. I told her the cat did it. And she let me go.(I'm 11 and going to the 6th grade)
As i walked out my best friend looked at me with the most hatred in her eyes.And my other friend looked at me with worry.The nurse gave me a bandage and i went to the bathroom and cried for the longest time.I don't have money to pay a therapist.And i still cut, what to do?

As we all know has gravitation an influence on photons, ligth rays; it can change the light rays direction. Thats why even light can't leave a black hole once behind the event horizon.
From my understanding of gravitstion if "things" can attract each other, both must have their own gravitational field. If this is true , also photons must have a very very small gravitational field and paralell light rays (photons) therfore will attracted each other and can't be paralell and the rays will cross each other and finally will join in one ray.

Or am I wrong ?
