Hey, if anyone wants to post the procedure again for those who've never seen it, I won't complain either... I've got it written down somewhere myself but I'm in class today and on break so I've got no time!!!

Thanks in advance!!
I did mine about 2 weeks ago. The gap (according to my crappy Chilton manual) says its 0.38 to 0.42 like Aredub said. I went with Bosche Plat +4's and they were pregapped to 0.41 so I was happy with that. REMEMBER if you buy platinum....DON'T try to test the gap, you will wreck them!

As for the procedure. I wrote a pretty brief how-to, with pictures, on my website if you want to check it out. It's pretty straightforward. You can get it from http://www.ryanmacdonald.com under Sunfire/Svx and then click How-to's.

Aredub, how in the world did you do it without taking out the fender plugs?? I had a b*tch of a time trying to get in there even doing that. Or are you not mensioning the use of your engine hoist?
