do you know the "size" allen key?
For the factory cast head you need a 12mm hex socket(1/2"drive) and some heat and PB. Then you want to chase the threads with an M26x1.5 tap and install the new ones with high-temp silicone and about 10FT/LBs like what Simon says the "Gurus say"
so buy heat, can i just start the car and bring it up to temp then release the pressure at the radiator?
the plugs that are in it use a allen wrench to remove. should a 17mm fit or is that too small? im at work so i cant check myself..thanks
Heat, as in torch.Originally Posted by shellboy
