    hi m8

    beast way is to remove the bulk head plate

    3 screws

    then use a long plug remover (8cm long or more)with a 16mm socket for the plug

    ebay sell them

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sykes-03341200-SPARK...%3A1|240%3A1318

    this is the one i have

    when fitting the new plugs use a length of hose pipe to start the thread off

    as you don't want to cross thread any of them.

    i have the same engine in my gal the ford dohc

    do 1 plug at a time m8

    takes about 30 mins to do it all
