Yeah,
I reckon that changing the plugs calls for a comprehensive service of the stripping down kind too.LOL!
They are a real pain those plugs,aren\'t they!Especially when you have six of them.

Era\'s method of spark plug removal.

Step 1 remove motor
Step 2 insert socket into vice
step 3 slot spark plug attached to motor into socket
step 4 rotate engine ccw
step 5 assembly is the reverse of above !

(also insert step 1.5, 2.5 etc. = drink beer !)

Could you not leave the engine in the car, and rotate the car with the engine in situ round the plug?  Just a thought...

you could but you\'d have to remove the nodding dog from the parcel shelf first

OJ,I think that you are getting a bit too silly now.......................... :Nono!

Everyone knows that you have to ship the car to cape canaveral,pop it onto a space shuttle,send it into orbit for a few day\'s,get the astronuts to space walk it through a full body chop,respray it with a moondust finish and make two black holes appear in the rotor housings.
To bring it down to earth you then need to fire the retro rockets along with the Nos and pull the chute.
I am sure it will make a big splash,at Rotorstock.

When you installing the fridge for the beer then Era? We can\'t be drinking warm beer at rotorstock, we could always pipe the nitrous through that first to keep the beer warm then route it to the engine.

Do you mean big or really big as we know you get a bit carried away sometimes. Do you think you would let me and the Cosmo join you in the old codgers team?

If we make a bit of noise and spit a few flames they\'ll probably sh!t themselves on the line anyway.

I think its a great idea, even better the old codgers team should just pile into your cosmo Kev and we\'ll throw empties at the competition  :Party  :guinness  :Thumbsup!

Era,
      I\'m glad your plugs have survived. Do you need some help next weekend with the transplant into your red beastie? ;)
