Ty- I'm going to do my plugs today, and I need to cut or bend my shifter plate. I don't know how to do it so if you can help me sometime before the superlap. Does anyone know what tourqe that the plugs should be turned to? Oh I found another picture of blake.

 

What a graceful picture of me.

 

You looked so enjoyable Blake!

 

I will give you a call when I finish work today. LMK if you need your plate trimmed like mine. I gotta wait till I get home for the torque specs.

 

Can't you just rotate the plate thats what I did and it's not in the way. Rotating it is what KartBoy's site said to do. And I don't think there is a torque spec for plugs just don't tighten them to much they are threading into aluminium.

 

actually, turning the plate would probably work for the 04's. in the 05's, there are some clearance problems when you rotate the plate, which is why i had to modify mine. otherwise, just grind or cut the corner of the plate that's is causing the problems.

 

Ty, Will Let Ya Know. But For Now, It Seems All Good. (knock On Wood) Thanks To Everyone Who Attended And Helped Out. Also, Food Was Great!!!

 

Mine is flipped, but it makes sounds in 5th and 6th.

 

Hey Ty can you try to post up a picture of what you trimmed I just went out looked at mine and really didn't see a need to rotate the plate but I did it anyway because it said to...

 

nate - i'll call you after work.

 

i think its 15.2ft lbs if you wanna go by the book. and the ignition pack is 11.7 lbs

 

i'll try to post pics when i finish work. basically, i cut off all of the welded studs, and flipped the plate upside down. on the 05, i couldn't rotate the plate because the studs were interfered with the new center console. also the holes on the side of the plate were not lining up, so i would have had to also drill holes and cut off one set of studs anyway. i'm guessing (and hoping) that the studs were not used for anything more than centering purposes. i kept them just incase and i'll weld them back on if necessary.

 

I too am trying to figore out what the studs are for?? I bent the two rear studs up and rotated the plate and it went in..But yea I forgot your car is a little different.

 

i got the same. just go 15 ft-lbs and 12 ft-lbs and you'll be fine. btw, keep your old plugs. i wanna take a look at them to see what kind of combustion you were getting.

 

I may wait until someone can help me since I've never done plugs on a boxer engine. Give me a call if you have a few minutes to help me Ty.
