Default I blew it. (not the engine)

Yep; I blew it big time. Was sent a link to a post - from a long time CF member; thinking there was some bad information being given out about something I have first hand knowledge and experience with.

My first mistake was not noticing what C5 section the thread was located.

My second mistake was replying in knee-jerk-reaction style. Had I not of knee-jerked... and noticed what section the thread was in (Forced Injection)... I would of kept my yap shut !!!

My apologies to corvettebob1; who was indeed correct about a whether a certain part should be used in a specific application.
