Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

What tip was that? That L/R is a ***** *****.

That might be why it’s causing a problem, those might be the plugs that came in that engine and haven’t been changed for who knows how long. For #8 try this- your 5/8” plug socket can take a 3/4” regular socket on it, then your ratchet. Like this.

Then it’s the exact right length for #8. It’s so easy that way you won’t believe it. Try it.

The 3/4 socket on the 5/8 spark plug socket. Worked great.

WTF, was the new plugs not included with this neused engine. I mean at least some new crappy ones.

Sorry, those were extra .
I wonder what other little nuggets I'm gonna find.

To get #5 and #7 plugs out I had to lay my big ass on top of the engine with my legs hanging over the grill to get in there at the right angle. My balls hated me for that one!!

I am 6-1 and find this step stool from Harbor Freight very handy for doing plugs.

I have one of those but it’s too tall to work on my engine, maybe because my truck is lowered or I’m too tall at a measly 6’. I can reach most of it standing on the ground but sometimes I use a couple 2 x 6’s stacked.

I have the one that hangs on the top of your wheel, but I was too lazy to get it. I also have the one that goes over your motor and you lay on it to do whatever you're doing.

So you chose the Beached Whale technique. Interesting choice. Interesting in deed.

You should've gotten the one that lets you lay flat so you'd look like you were flying when working on your truck:





... Then you could tell people you "Superman dat '**"!
