Since you have experience with using the tool in car,do you have any tips or advice as to do this the most easily? Unfortunately I dont own an engine hoist or stand at the moment. If I did and went that route id also replace the rear main seal even though the car doesnt leak.
see if you can rent some rack time. doing it on your back sucks the proverbial hairy moose ****.
get the car up as high as you can. clean everything really well before hand-- engine degreaser, pressure wash, etc. and buy an extra set of plugs in case you bungle any on your first try.
I assumed the same thing. The discs have the protruding area thst goes into the plug and a wide outer rim that must stop when it hits the block and the plugs are in the proper depth. I dont think many mechanics would jave bought the tools if they didnt work well.
Were there only 5 basic sizes of main core plugs used during that era? Seems all the sae sets have 5 tools
