fitting spark plugs to a 172! what a pain

[gaz0_0]

im pretty new to the clio thing. i have only just got my 172 and every time i buy a car i like to give it a service. i thought i would just whip out and put the spark plugs in. took off the plastic engine and thought oh bugger! had to take the inlet manifold off and what i thought would take 5 mins took me 40 mins!!! lol bloody reno

LOL try doing it on a rx7! u can barely even see where the plug leads go let alone see the plugs, and you have to do it from under the car as they are on the side of the engine and you need 2 plugs of one grade and 2 of another!
