My daughter's 92 240 Verde almost 200,000 miles on the clock..
Time for engine seals, belts and stuff...
All was well till i went to put in the spark plugs...
Two years ago I had run in with #1 plug (it would thread but not tighten) so I bought a LISLE spark thread repair kit, and every thing was good...
The #1 plug was a little stiff coming out, but it always has been.
Long story short,,, apparently the new threads stayed on the plug and I threw the plugs out not really looking at the plugs.. SO I go to run the plugs in and the head says "NO I don't think so"
I tried to chase the threads and reinstall a new thread insert...
well again no dice
So no what do i do?
I have a really nice head and installed cam from a 92 240 turbo in the garage, and most everything to do a head swap , Should it come to that
Any bright ideas?
The new oil seal presses worked really well,little silicone grease on the friction surfaces and wham-bam, went on pretty much with finger effort..
I'm getting to old for this
