grrrrrr.... stoopid rubber boot on coil packs... cant buy the @#%%^# things by themselves.. now i have a extra coil pack.

anyone out there got a lead on extra rubber boots for coil packs?

anyway, put 3 denso's in today... broke one rubber boot. (cost $40)

the stock plugs look pretty good so far.. i'll post pics later..

 

I hope your swap is going better than mine!!! I paid my friend in booze to do mine. (Just make sure you pay him AFTER the job is done!!)

Good luck

 

hmmm......work for booze? my dumbass has been working for $ all this time, chould have saved alot of time and effort

 

Call up JDM. They probably have some.

 

hey thats a good idea.. i'll give JDM & Sal a call..

 

Did you tear the boot or did it just pop off the coil pac?

I have had them come off, but was able to just pop them back on.

 

don: it popped off at first, but my stupid *** tried to use a pair of pliers to get it out..
now i know to use a small screwdriver to break it loose from around the plug..

 

heres the boot that got stuck...





a couple more were stuck today, but i used a piece of a antenna off of a K-40 and some silicon grease to poke around inside the boot. they popped off after that. it broke the seal that the boot had on the ceramic part of the plug.

 

got 6 out of 8 plugs changed.. only the ones in the back are left..







what do you guys think of the stock plugs?

 

the stock plugs were around .045
i put in IT-20 Densos gapped at .038 (the way they came)
i checked every plug before putting it in.

i used plenty of this stuff too.. lol

 

I got a set of Denso's coming also. But it was my understanding that the gap should be .040 not .038. Did you go with what they where out of the box for fear of breaking a tip trying to gap? That's a real possiblity with these plugs or so I hear Iam not sure which ones Iam getting, I'll just take what Sal sends

 

sal told me to go with .038-.040
see the round thing in this pic?


it has slots cut in it to gap plugs.. dont use the disc style that goes between the electrodes..

 

Anyone have a how-to on changins spark plugs??? I'm puttin in Densos in next weekend(hopefully) and I don't want to have as much of a problem as Clontek...

 

patience
