I’m gonna pick one of these up and was wondering if anyone here has tried one? My only concern is the depth of the socket part itself.. could be a little short?

Just use a socket and extension, you should be torquing the plugs with aluminium heads.

QUOTE(Geezer914 @ Aug 26 2024, 08:19 PM)  Just use a socket and extension, you should be torquing the plugs with aluminium heads. The spark plug socket I have, which is from a Kamasa Tools socket set, works fine on cylinders 1, 2 and 4 but won’t engage the plug on cylinder 3. There seems to be some part of the cylinder head that snags on the socket preventing it from sliding all the way down over the plug. I guess I need a thinner walled socket or to file away the outer wall of the socket enough for it to clear the obstruction. Anyone else have this issue? Mine is a 1.7/1.8 litre type head. |
