Yesterday I started the hatch before I took it to get tuned (this weekend) and it made a loud bang noise. So I turned it off right away. My spark plug cover broke on the left side (1st spark plug) so I then took it off and the spark plug wire popped out or should I say shot out!! The whole spark plug broke!

So that was one problem already. Then I took the valve cover off and found oil mixed with.... Coolant :thumbdown:

I took the head off in about 30 mins and my studs were loose, I mean the nuts for the ARP studs where tight but the stud it self was loose so I think thats what caused the leak.

Well I ordered a new head gasket, lets see how it goes now.
