Does it involve dropping the engine?
I can barely see the plugs on my non-turbo 911SC.
I imagine that the plugs for a turbo are buried under some gnarly manifolds.
- orangethirty 14y agoThere are two ways to do it: You can remove the manifolds (and turbochargers and all related shit), or you can lower the engine a bit and get your hand in there with a collection of flexible 3/8 ratchet joints, a shaved spark plug socket (if its too long it wont work), and lots of patience. The issue is that the upper head faces the frame rails. By the way, I love the SC. Very nice car. I dropped a 930 engine into one, but it keeps breaking transmissions (600+ HP). :)

- nvmc 14y agoReminds me of a friend who took the hole saw to the inner guards on his STi to make getting to the plugs easier.
- orangethirty 14y agoOh yeah, I own a Subaru. I know the pain of changing those spark plugs, too.
