Isn't this what make LvC a great place...

Mike you are a great asset to the site!!! Thanks for all your help support!!!

I had to chime in after this one... I can't agree more with mespock; Mike, you are at least 75% of the reason I check this site daily.
 
Well I took it apart today. Kinda a PITA to get those valve covers off. Over all it didn't take to long. Rob (rocket5979) came up to help, which speed it up, and the extra set of hands to hold crap out of the way and finagal them out was helpful. Going to need those tools now.

BTW, this is something that you do NOT need to pull the cam covers for. The tool is long enough to reach down. Infact, I would put the covers back on to keep filings out of the engine.

Now ya tell me....JK

The drivers side was leaking into the spark plug wells on 6&7. So I figured I'd do them both. The thought crossed my mind that it could be done with them on, I thought it might be easier with them off. I'll take the advice and button them up before doing it.

Well started this process today, not that hard to do but far from fun. First one took a while with a little second guessing myself on how far to ream. Second one went alot faster.

Alot of my other plugs were oddly loose, hmm, all eight are getting done for sure. As I said before when I changed the plugs after getting the car, they were all so frickin tight I knew there would be problems down the road. I could tell the threads were pretty beat, now that I see how few threads there are to start with, well it was just a matter of time. I imagine I had some minor compression loss on a few cylinders for a while now.

You had 6 inserts Mike, I'm going to install them up today and tommorrow. I'll order more Monday, finish up and restock ya.

Thanks Again for the tools.
