    Exhaust System · Gasoline

    Began to hear a slight ticking of what appeared to be a slight exhaust leak. Within a matter of a minute or two it got loud, then there was a pop. The rear spark plug on the passenger side blew completely out of the motor. I pulled over and was in need of a tow. The mechanic had to put some sort of insert in the head to fix the hole. *jb
