Anyone here own the red fox body GT that tried to accelerate past a G8 on George Bush in Garland last Friday around 5 pm?

I actually found out why the plug melted, I believe it to be from high end detonation that was caused from oil getting into the combustion chamber from leaky valve seals. I determined this after I put in a new plug, drove it around and pulled the plug, sure enough it was coated in oil.
The head gasket being blown is still in the air, the only time I see bubbles or steam come from the cap is after the engine was warmed up and the thermostat is open. It could be from a disturbance in the water from the water pump.
I actually went and hit the bottle a few more times the other night. Pulled the plug and checked it, it looked fine just coated in oil. Btw, ran an octane booster to try and help offset the increased chance of detonation with the oil.
This week is the last week the car will be stock. So either way I'm not worried about it, I don't even drive it as a friend let me borrow his truck so I can the h/c/i.
