I get to do this soon too..... I have all the parts, now just need to get the replacement manifold prepped, and arrange time in the shop to do it up. I don't think I have a spare 40 for the machine shop though.... do the best I can with brake cleaner, and a powered wire brush.

Thoughts on painting it black?

 

Shrader valve will spray you....it did to me, and gas in the eye is bad lol....felt like my eyes were melting, and had to get up to the 3rd floor barly able to see to flush my eyes lol.

 

Not sure about the shrader valve but by the time I released the fuel line almost no gas came out. Not sure why though.

Gonna probably just clean the kegger myself. I like the shop idea just not time nor money. This is my daily driver so it has to be back in action for the Monday commute.

 

take lots of pictures,never know if ya gotta do another one.

 

Ok, diving into the plugs and cap this morning. I was reading through the FSM and do I need to torque the plugs to a certain in/lbs? Looks like I do, but I don't know what "N.m" means?

 

Nevermind figured it out. Plugs torqued to 26-30 ft/lbs

 

Well I just royally f'ed myself I think. I just broke off the bottom half of a plug down in the engine block. What the heck now????

 

Anyone know how to unstuck a broken off spark plug?
