Bobby 0 Posted February 18, 2004 ok so i finally decided to start on the head gasket on my h reg 1.8 16valve c unbolted the inlet manifold to realise that the ht leads where welll and truely jammed on the sparkies, after some twisting they came of with the top end of the spark plugs in them!!! This is due to me driving the car whilst it was leaking coolant and therefore cooked the leads and engine big time. Anyway the question is do the spark plugs need to be removed to get the rocker cover of? the car looks like its had the head gasket done very recently as the inlet manifold gasket was still like new and the rocker cover gasket is looking new. what do u guys think would be best, try get the remains of the spark plugs out and put some new leads and sparkies in and then try it, or take the head off first to check the gasket is still ok? Thanks Bobby :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted February 18, 2004 Nope, you can even leave the sparks in the head whilst you take it off! Try new sparks and leads first.....the head Gasket might be OK. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
