anyone ever had a problem with their coil pack bolts seeming to be too long? im not sure if the threads on the new head are not the same depth as the original head, but the bolts seem to be 1/2 inch too long. still misfire on cylinder 5. ugh.

thanks!

Any pics of the turn signals hooked up? How much light do those things put out? I was thinking of getting the same set myself.
