Its just gotten worse

Post by albertramsbottom »

I took a couple of plugs out of me new cylinder head so I could see if me van turns over quicker (which it did) but I cant get one of the sparks back in. It seems to be cross threading (havent forced it). I have been trying for around 2 hours with no luck. Its one of the front ones that are very deep.

So, can I take the tinware of from around the cylinder head without removing the engine? If the tinware wasnt there I think I will be able to get to the spark plug hole better to make sure I dont cross thread the bar-steward :(

And what will I need to remove? It looks like the dizzy will av to come off but will I have to take the carbs of?

Cheers for any advice
