alot of ppl talkin plugs lately

[Cam'ron]

has anyone done plugs in the 3rd gen 3.4L

is it worth fuckin around myself or an i gonna have to tilt the engine / go from underneath to do it?? i honestly havenot looked to see how much of a PITA it will be if any, started thiinkin about then i have just over 55,000 kilometers on the car... figure it couldnt hurt it and i sure as hell dont want to pay the dealer to do it when i go in for my next oil change.

 

prolly lookin to do plugs and wires just because...

[manitcor]

takes me a whole 20-30 mins todo plugs on my 3400, no engine rocking neccassary. There is a little more room to manuver with headers than with stock manifolds and heat shields but its not that much harder. running NGK V-Power TR55s with MSD Superconductor 8.5 MM wires

[Cam'ron]

i am just a little concerned how difficult the backside of this will be

[digitaloutsider]

It's not that bad..

[manitcor]

werd, not hard at all, if you need some clearance take the coil packs off, though I normally dont.

with MSD Superconductor 8.5 MM wires

 

Will those work with my 3100, are they the same length?

 

and what price are they?

You'd have to trim them to size I assume, but they'll work for sure.

[manitcor]

yes they fit the 3100 no problem, but AFAIK they are no longer sold, you can buy Superconductor wire and boots with clips from jegs and make your own though

If it's anything like my car I would tilt the engine cause it will make things easier...

 

undo the dog bones

set the e-brake (or have someone sit in the car)

Start car and put in reverse (engine will tilt forward)

go to the engine and put the bolt through the engine mount, give it a little throttle from up front if you need the engine to tilt more.

 

Easy as PIE!!!

[Cam'ron]

is that safe???

[THe_DeTAiL3R]

is that safe???

 

yes, as long as your ebrake works 100% (if not then have someone sit in the car and apply the brake). It cannot hurt the engine if that's what you're asking.

[Cam'ron]

will the engine go back to where it should be easily in N or park when your done or do you have to "make" it lean back to where it should be

[manitcor]

you guys are making this way more complicated than it needs to be, its just spark plugs not a cam or headers

[Cam'ron]

i was lookin under the hood today at lunch and i cannot even see the rear plugs no matter what angle i was trying to see them from, i am thinking they might be accessible from underneathif nothing else... front ones are plain as day, and i love the wires i have stock... they are numbered lol idiot proof, do one at a time and there is no way i can fuckem up

[THe_DeTAiL3R]

Yep. With the dog bones off the engine will tilt backwards in drive, forwards in reverse, and in neutral or park it just goes back to normal.

 

Just incase you aren't sure, undo the top of the dogbones, and slip a bolt through the right dogbone into the mount on the engine.

(The right dogbone holding the engine tilted for you)

[manitcor]

its real easy

 

no you cant see the rear plugs, and you wont (well I guess if you go through the trouble of rocking the engine you might)

 

go by feel its not to hard, with a spark plug socket the plugs are the only thing the spark plug socket will even fit on.

 

 

The plug order is easy

just be happy you don't have the 3.4 DOHC...the 3.1/3100/3400 are tons easier than the quad cam...don't make it seem harder than it actually is
