Not from a motorcycle
 
This is what plugs look like when you have to remove the intake plenum to change plugs.

210k miles. I'm pretty sure they were factory units.

The harder it is to get to, the less likely it will get done.

If they would only make the design engineers work out in the shop one week a month, things would get easier.

Lincoln MK 8 oil filter comes to mind.
Along with "sealed" automatic transmissions that take specialized tools and equipment.

...and let's not forget changing plugs on a Ford 3 valve.
What fun.

Fe Butte 02-27-2016 08:58 PM

Sometimes the third valve roller rocker takes out the lifter making it seem like a number 3 cylinder misfire...



BTDT... POS.

Ever see the "factory recommendation" for changing a starter motor on a Corvair?"

BTW, it can be done without using the "recommended method". :SD2

FXDRYDR 02-28-2016 12:34 PM

Is that like a Model T?

SLOWHOUND 02-28-2016 07:25 PM

Not factory ,don't know of Oe NGK plugs.and that kinda mileage is not likely

Well, at least you left the female threads in the heads.

That's good!

Hah!... In a weak moment, ages ago, I test drove one of them. It was brand new and the rear diff whined like crazy. Clearly it was setup wrong or lacking gear lube. I commented to the sales guy on the ride-along that the rear end needed to be fixed. He immediately responded that, no, they all do that. We were just arriving at a stop sign and i stopped the car, looked him in the eye and paused for effect... and said "well then, they ALL need to be fixed".

What a sad little machine was the diesel Chevette.

Zero to sixty in about twenty five minutes.

....I thought 'plenum' is what you hack up when you are sick with a chest cold? :blink:
