getting sparkplugs out of 93 351ci. spitfire omc
the exaust manifolds are in the way on all the plugs, it has a tube on the
bottom of manifole that runs across, all 1 piece, can't even slip a socket on any? do u have to remove manifold to access? I don't think they were ever changed if that had to be done. just bought the boat last yr. here is my manifold. http://216.37.204.206/Actionsports/O...pe=13&A=48&B=5 thanks |

Get yourself down to a good tool supply store. Not the less than a dollar
wrench store. look through the 5/8" box end wrench (6 point preferred for rusty plugs) for one with a deep offset. I think mine is a Snap-On brand wrench. This means you can get to the sparkplug. I have removed the manifold (not hard to do, just pull it away from the motor, and leave the elbow intact. Do not use Motocraft plugs!!!! They are not plated and will rust to the head. Then when they break, you have to buy a BIG easy-out to back out the remains, and possibly remove the head to remove the extra parts. I use NGK. My 351W does not have the tube.

Motorcraft plugs work fine when you apply anti-seize compound as you should
to any plug anyway. -- Steve ======================= Remove the not dot from my address to abuse my email box "Calif Bill" wrote in message nk.net... Get yourself down to a good tool supply store.
