I took my intercooler out of the truck and cleaned it out. No pics,(figure everyone has seen it) but mine was jet black from all of the oil. I will be doing the dime mod to solve that problem.

Next up was the spark plug change. WHAT A PAIN!!! This was the first time changing the plugs so there was a learning curve. Took a little over 2 hours and that was without the SC and IC on the damn truck. I can't imagine doing that with all that crap on there.

Got some questions:
1. Are the 4 intercooler bolts torque-to-yield?
2. Are the SC bolts torque-to-yield?
3. Are TR6s a good plug with ported SC and 4#?
4. Will my hands ever heal from all the cuts and scrapes of changing those freakin plugs?

Later,

Mook

 

Think those plugs are bad try changing plugs on a LT1 Fbody....You beg to do the L plugs twice over!!

 

yes they are TTY bolts, but lots of people use them over without any probs. i used mine over.
