mistamidget Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Fug that sucks. Try the thread doctor, I think he calls himself, we had him replace a few head studs on an R33 GTS-T which went very well.

It's a spark plug hole, so no the rocker does not need to come off. Just need pot 6 to be tdc clean hole, vacuum/blow out, fit spark plug Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/406673-ohhh-no/#findComment-6481485 Share on other sites More sharing options...
