Is it Possible ?
« on: 26 March 2013, 17:47:04 »
Looks like I might have traced my slight missfire down to a plug lead so will be replacing all 6 ,hopefully in the next day or so if it gets a bit warmer  ;D

Question is can they be replaced with the scuttle left in place,just by removing plenum chamber as I really don,t want to end up trying to reseal the scuttle panel after I have mangaed to get it fully watertight and also don,t think new sealant would dry correctly in this temperature. >:(

Plasters are standard issue with these cars  ;D and I still have old skin left on the back of the firewall from various other ventures to change HBV /Coolant transfer pipe seal etc etc. >:(

Just was hoping somebody would say...Yes . :y...its a doddle and can easily be done with scuttle left in place ,but was kidding myself really ;D

From memory its best to remove the scuttle when replacing the diss pack but as I havent only done the leads on their own wasn,t sure if it was possible.

Can expact fun and games with 2/4/6 set as closest to the head and again from memory #4 is only doable by "feel" anyway so plasters at the ready. ;D

No need to remove scuttle, easy enough with plenum off.

As I said before, I hardly ever remove the scuttle for any jobs (including heads!)

Everything is easier the second time around. ;D..had I known issues with sealing the scuttle I would never of removed it the first time I did a maintenance job on the Omega back in 2007...as advised I tend to leave it well alone now. ;)

It,s just I was unsure if there was adequate space to get at the 2/4/6 plug leads on the disspack..but thanks guys for reassurance and I will have a go this weekend......weather permitting  :y
