Spark Plugs

[skybee 93]

hey guys, just a few questions about changing sparkies.

i can see that the manifold has to come off to change them, so will i need to changed the gasket you think or can i put the old one back on. im scared it will leak though.

and if the spark plugs are f**ked does that generally mean that my coil packs could be too?

thanks

dont know what manifold your thinking of taking off to change the spark plugs dude, but there is deffinately no gaskets that need to come off.. you need to take the plastic cover in the middle of ur engine (between the tappet covers) off, then unplug and take out the coil packs..

sorry but this is the first time ive worked on a skyline engine, ive got a 1993 gts-t r33 rb25, it seems to me that my air intake manifold covers like 4 of my spark plugs, and i cant seem to get at the any other way then to remove the manifold to get to them. im a bit of an amatuer still with engines and general information about skylines.

once you remove the coil packs you will need a special tool to fit into head to unbolt the spark plugs.. i was lucky to keep my old honda civic tool as it fits into the holes perfectly and is the same size..
