avoid it Just buy pads.

Pros: Fits well. I had to use a pry bar to align some of the screws. As someone said the thread is coarse and 8.6Nm doesn't even screw in. I tightened them with a 1/4" ratchet. Bad: Car was hard to start the first time. I ignored him thinking he was just getting used to things. Next time he blew out a puff of smoke, stuttered and then calmed down. I drove about 10 moles and the CEL light came on. Code said I'm getting skinny. Checked for vacuum leaks, nothing out of the ordinary except for the large vacuum you feel when you remove the oil filler cap. Tomorrow afternoon I'm going to dump the thing and use the gaskets on the old cap Hopefully this fixes the initial oil leak and terrible engine performance.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
