Spend some quality time "expressing yourself".
Use words like;!@#$%^ and &*()_!!! You will feel better for it.
Apply salve to your burnt hands, and wait for the engine to cool.
Remove the valve covers using a 1/4" drive ratchet and a short 10mm socket.
A 10mm ratcheting box end is usefull as well.
Once the valve covers are removed the plugs are now a 18-30 minute job! 
Use anti-sieze on the threads.
Now spend the rest of the day cleaning up the 17 gallons of oil that has covered your garage floor.
Golly this has been fun!  |
Old Tom, how best to determine if new coils are necessary? I have been experiencing engine lurching from a stop. I cleaned the MAF, added injector cleaner (Chevron w/techtron) still not completely free of lurching from a standing start. Could it be time for a new fuel filter? Changed it 10K miles ago.
