I quarantined myself in the garage this morning
to change out my spark plugs and tubes.
Previous Owner had Bosch Platinum 4s, no idea how old. I went with NGK G-powers.
The plug tubes came out by hand. No boat plug or "special" tools. The new ones were harder to push back in than the old ones were to pull out. I wonder if anyone else has had the same experience? Assume that the orings had shrunk with age maybe?
Bad news is that all my coils have small cracks, so I'll get those on order. I'll be back under there to do the water pump and thermostat soon. Those part are already waiting on my shelf.
Thanks again for all the good advise and guidance on this here forum I'm really enjoying this boxster rehab.
