RE: Spark Plug Gapping

yeah. if you look at the emissions sticker on the bottom side of your hood it says gap is .035. if you upgrade your coil, you can increase that gap to about .040 max i think.

RE: Spark Plug Gapping

So when I pulled the plugs to re-gap them I found oil on plugs #2 & #4 .. what's the concern here with that? Is it something that I need to bust my *** and fix?

maybe valve stem seals? i'm not a mechanic..but my guess is this could be bad...after just rebuilding the tranny, replacing the radiator for the 2nd time in 14 months..now if the valve stem seals are bad..i think it might be time to put her up for sale [:@] ...

spark plug tube seals.... dealer will charge you an arm and a leg for them... so fine a DriverFX dealer around you and look for the Felpro valve cover gasket set its like $20-$30 and you can just change ALL the gaskets you have there

YAY!
