Take a few hours if it's your first go. Ideal opportunity to do a plug change too if it's coming up for a service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could look at it this way, and you could stop being a tight !Removed! and pay someone else to do it if you don't fancy removing the washer bottle, Battery, dipstick tube, airbox and other bits that get in the way before you've even got to the rockers, Plus the reg number may not necessarily bring you up the right parts, we tried 3 different gasket kits before we had a match, so if you take it to a mechanic least they will be able to get all parts on sale or return basis and not have to possibly wait 3 days for new ones to turn up. I could have done it but hate gaskets and getting them seated so didn't mind paying for someone to do it for me Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 You mean actually spend my money? 😂 Try to avoid that as much as possible. Even if it does mean a full swear jar, which in its own way is saving money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Just think of all that cash sat outside that doesn't move anywhere 😂 If you are doing a diy job may as well do the plugs at the same time if don't know history of car, No point putting old ones back Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did it when i changed my gasket last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Does help if they're out of the way too when trying to put the cover back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
