I've been looking at a lot of pics of the passenger side log manifolds that are being built for these front mount kits and was wondering how hard is it to still get to the spark plugs.

In some of these photos it looks like you would need to remove the manifold to change plugs. Is that right or are the pictures lying to me?

What about burning plug wires, is this a common problem?

 

On my manifolds, the plugs are not hard to get to at all. The wires are a little close to them, so I do run heat sleeves on them to make sure they don't get burnt. Here is a pic.

 

Thanks for that pic. That looks like a lot more room than I was originally thinking.

 

IfyouwantIcanchange the title of your build thread to turbo instead of f1

 

still looks like a nightmare to change plugs.. lol

guess im used to changing my plugs since they are directly on top of the motor and easy as hell to get to, hehe

 

x2........

 

I have changed plugs on a truck with a KB kit, cylinder 8 was the hardest but it took me the same amount of time as usual i just had to get at them from a different angle compared to LT,s and Manifolds.

Tools used where, 1 swivel end ratchet, 1 short extension, and a sparkplug socket nothing had to be moved.

 

Straight plug socket, small swivel, 3" extension, and the ratchet. Maybe 5 minutes more than on my C5

 

I changed the plugs by myself in about 30 minutes for both sides! the manifold just requires a small swivel!!! Very easy and i coated and wrapped my manifold and also running the plug wire covers to protect them(overkill but what can i say).

 

The old kits build 5+ years ago had plug changing issues. Most built today are a brezze to get to.
