Plugs, intercooler, oil seperator...
First off, yes I did a search.
Holy crap you guys were not kidding, Spark plug removal and replacment is going to be a pain!!! Well, I need to put on a oil seperator, and after doing a search, I think cleaning my intercooler will be a good idea. From what I read, it is easier to change the plugs with the blower off, so I'll wait till I do that. What's the tourq specs and order for the blower?
I am a bit parinoid on the whole spark plug blowing issue... I have a pretty loud SVTL, even at idle it has a GOOD rumble. If a spark plug does start to lossen, will I DEFINATLY be able to here it inside the cab? On throtle, idle, what? Do I need a scope and check out each cylnder every week? Is thier an easier way to check them? All that smog crap is really going to be tuff to work around. Why they would enginear somthing like that, I don't know.
Any hints and tips quick off the top of you head please let me know... I am sick and tired of reading the endless search results.
p.s. I know I suck a spelling, If it wasn't for 'F7' I would be lostm but it doesn't work on line.

Also, does any one have pictures and information on a oil seperator set up that effectivly eliminates oil intake from both the drivers, and passengers side?
