Bite bullet time, engine out

Once you get stuck in, it'll be fine . Just follow your nose.

Plug thread from memory is 14mm x 1.25, but I'd avoid using helicoils on plugs. They may get baked on, and come out with the plug later. Inserts are better in my experience.

 

I had helicoils on my earlybay 20 years ago... a big bang and a dent in the side of the engine bay as it threw a plug while driving through a small village outside Southampton was the start of taking these engines apart!

 

Cheers Snotty, will try and source inserts separately then.

 

Unfortunately, you’ll need the kit/taps to put them in with. Sealy do a kit.

 

And you do need to get van higher than you think

 

Like the jack! Easier than balancing on a trolley jack

Waiting for wind and rain to move on for a bit, van outside so need the annual Indian summer to turn up? Then will go for it.

 

I know but a bit pricey. Hoping I only need a couple of inserts. Have access to most of the other bits.

 

I got bored of waiting... luckily close enough to house to ring up a tarp..
