Coolant resivor chaught fire
That's what happened when I lit it with the BBQ lighter.
I think this is a bad thing.The coolant level also stays the same just reeks of fuel.I wonder if a better tune and arp head bolt would help.
It still runs fine and #7 plug looks good.
I do have a spare 4.8l in my garage just incase.
Btw:The fire went out almost instantly.

I popped the cap on a 4 liter jeep with a warped head and leaking head gasket and it wreaked of combustion gases in the coolant because of the leaking head gasket. I never struck a match though. Didn't really see the need to.

Just had to make sure my mind wasn't playin tricks on me.
It smelled sweet and not like regular gas.Then I remembered running 100 a few weeks ago.
