Here's a new and old spark plug when I changed about 100k.

Here's some photos I pulled from what I think it looks like when you actually have the problem with oil in the plugs cylinders.

How on Earth did you manage to get to the passenger side spark plugs..? Lol driver side was easy.. But I didn't replace because I had no clearance on the passenger side

Hey Nnaji, have you ever tried changing drive belts in our vehicle? If so we can do a mini meet. I'll help you with your plug change and you show me the drive belts change. We can tag along Kim. Beers on me. LOL

The best part about moving the wiring harness to do the passenger side was hearing the harness cover crack every time I bent it. :at-wits-end:
 
Thanks Stu. I guess I don't have that problem. The wells are reasonably dry and the coil packs are dry too.

Lol I've never done it, some guys did it for free when I provided the belts at Jiffy Lube since they forgot to replace my oil cap and batter cover. No, I will not be going back unless for inspection lol
 
Yeah it seems like it's pretty obvious if you have the problem. I hope dirty spark plugs like mine are normal.
 
Also, oil in the spark plug wells and on the porcelain part of the plug means you need to change your valve cover, whatever side. Instead of changing just the gasket, like most cars, you'd have to buy the whole valve cover

Yeah when I heard the cracking of the harness cover, I stopped touching it and closed my hood lol. Sounds so sketchy
 
You can stop by my place if you want help with replacing the plugs. I had some practice lately and I was careful not breaking anything. I have the tools for the job.

Sweet, sounds good! I'll have to see when I'm available to do this job!
 
Is there any secret way to open the rear doors ?

I changed my passenger rear lock actuator buttoned everything up and now it will not open from the outside handle . It also does not open from the inner handle I thought possibly the child lock might be on do I managed to flip it and still nothing . I pulled some interior panles and managed to pull off the door panel but I still can't get it open .

Any ideas ?
 
I noticed I can't upload pictures directly from my PC anymore. Even a reasonably medium res sized digital photo. Was there a new restriction on pictures upload size implemented that I may have missed?
 
I searched around and ended up on the .org about this.
Apparently, there's a mod on the Stillen airbox, where you use a dremel to widen its opening to accommodate the Power Duct's opening.
Has anyone done this? If so, do you have pics? It seems that the thread from the org has been moved.
 
My guess is he's talking about the airbox that comes off the side of the main box. I removed this completely from my setup.
