No actually it was running when I started to hear ticking, then clinging, then clanging... After doing some reading it is not uncommon in these 103 engines for the cap bolts to become loose or strip threads after 125-150 thousand miles. I just didn't catch mine in time... Im still a little unsure of drilling my head. And also not sure if I could get the right size, material, and proper usage heli-coil from my local auto parts store??? Any refrences would be helpful. thanks kevin
