Is anyone available on Saturday to help me with my plugs and wires? I like to think I know my way around an engine bay pretty well, but the truth is I'm scared of this one. The fact that there isn't an empty space to be seen is a bit daunting, so if anyone is free Saturday, I'd be willing to bring some beer and meet you somewhere for a romantic da..I mean to change my spark plugs. I'm in the Milwaukee area.
PS. Anyone have any good tips on the best way to clean out the engine bay? I'm assuming it's not really safe to just hose it down...
That's it for now, hope to see you all Sunday at the show.

I could give you a hand if you can't find someone in Milwaukee. Do you have a garage / tools? Only reason I ask - we've got a driveway and garage full of cars my place already.

I do have a garage and all the tools in Grafton.
One other thing I forgot, do I need any new gaskets for this job?

Well, depends, I usually don't replace my plenum gasket until I've changed it a few times. However I have a pressure checker so I can make sure its still sealing good.
Depending on how you like to do it aswell you can pop the throttle body off instead of suspending it with the plenum while you change the plugs. That could / would be a gasket you'd want to pay attention to aswell.

Crunner, how far are you from Grafton?(it's about 20 minutes north of Milwaukee) I don't want you to drive too far to come help me, I'm sure my dad and I could do it, it would probably just take significantly longer. But if you're not too far I would really appreciate the help.

If you would be willing to help, it would be much more convenient than Nick coming up from Kenosha. Would you want me to come to your place or you come to Grafton? LMK Nick, no offense, I really would appreciate your help, but it's just not worth you coming all the way up from Kenosha, it's over an hour. -Justin _________________ www.rockauto.com

No problem, Jeff will probably be able to show you how to do it even faster than I can  -Nick
