spark plug change

[Faery]

oh hardy har har!!!

well any way... one of the spark plugs was coroded and broken away so the ring was stuck in the block.... so 30mins turned into a half an hour and the 33 is a little harder than the 32 cause things are in a more pain in the arse spot but still isnt that hard.

thanks to kiwi ingenuity and a fat screw driver, a hammer and a fat c clamp we got the thread out without pulling it apart plus the engine was ****ing hot so i had to pull shit off that was hot as hell.

still took less than an hour and a half inc a phone call and a beer

I dunno about 30 mins.

Maybe if your a frigging machine and have ALL the tools pre-setup

I'd prefer to take my time and do it properly.

I reckon an hour is fair. With a beer in the middle lol!

I can show someone if they BYO tools, i aint got many ATM.

Oh, and you supply plugs too

ROFL ash i know you had to get someone to change your plugs

yes it can be a bit of a bitch i would say 1 hour tops

[mupkant]

haha thanks inark, i thought at that point we were screwed when only half of the last spark plug came out

Gotta love it when you had little screams of "owww" everytime you touched a hot part. lol

Anyhow, thanks again, really appreciated!

How long did it take

[akeenan]

30mins max... maybe 45

i can do my 32 in half an hour... there aint much difference bw that and a 33...

so 30mins turned into a half an hour and the 33 is a little harder than the 32 cause things are in a more pain in the arse spot but still isnt that hard.

oh 30 minutes turned into half an hour? :confused:

[inark]

lmao that was meant to read "30 mins turned into over an hour"

but yeah... only cause it took 30mins to get that half a plug out.

Can we organise a day and time so we all can learn how to change plugs.

cheers

i think inark has had enough after my nightmare

[R31Nismoid]

Bah.

It's not that hard.

You just need tools... and patience. (guess which of those two i dont have)

But if people want i can show.

I aint done it before myself, but i've been shown a few times now.

So it cant be too hard

Yeah, but Gerald showed me what to do etc.

He went through it all nice and slowly so i didnt forget LOL!

So im gonna try myself now

Cant be that hard. Yeah a bit of a challenge, but nothing impossible.

[inark]

its piss easy... except when things like this happen....

i should have taken pics of the step by step process to make it easier for people rather than reading a step by step guide of nothing but text.

next time i spose.

just like what 31Nismoid said, from watching how inark did it, doesnt seem hard, just need the correct tools and remembering where each hose you unpluged came from. Damn there were a few hoses dont think i'll be able to remeber them all. heh

Nige pulled my plugs out, regapped em and put them back in, in about 10 mins in between tuning coz of a miss up high.

But i dont have the cover or the stock return pipe in the way.

Yeah, the two things that are a pain for the normal person.

Plus he would have had tools out.

We are talking from go-to-whoa in the plugs.

dont come here with how quick they do it.

This is 'Average Joe' mechanics :Bang:

[HKSgtst]

what plugs do you guys use ?

[mupkant]

what plugs do you guys use ?

i used the BCPR6ES, which are already gapped at 0.8mm

[NismoR34]

NGK ~ Platinum plugs [bCPR6ES or BCPR7ES colder range].

actually its impossible to get the hoses mixed up due to the fact they all are different sizes.

i tried the platinums and never again will i use them.

i stick with the cheapies which seem to do a job just as good as the others.

[R31Nismoid]

Platinums are a waste IMO.

just get coppers.

Might change them more often, but if they get fouled by bad fuel, or your car going out of tune for some reason.

Saves you $100
