Under the Plenum
Has anyone used the Haibeck Under the Plenum Service DVD, I need to replace my plugs and coil pack and I am sure my vacum hoses. I was going to have the repairs done by a shop but I need to take advantage of the Plenum removal to get in there and do some cleaning, I turn a decent wrench but not a Pro, am I in over my head.

Make sure you have a service manual. Take your time. When reinstalling use a proper torque sequence to the bolts on the plenum.
Actually once the plenum is off its pretty cool. Get a hand vac.
If you need help Pm me. If you need parts guys have them here instead of paying crazy prices.
On my car The dealership did much work like a complete gasket set, new main bearings, new starter. Didn't touch the secondary s. Go figure.
On mine I had to go deeper and remove the aluminum covers and replaced a actuator linkage. That cd you ordered was a good move.

When I first did this job alot of people were still scared to do it, There were however plenty of photos on the internet.
My car had a nasty oil leak so I pulled the complete top end down to the heads removed everything and changed all the gaskets and cleaned cleaned and cleaned haha.
Its not bad and If you have the abilities go for it you do not need marks CD but it cant hurt and I like Mark so if you want to help him spend some money and at least it would be good to watch before you even turn a wrench.
