1990 535 Engine layout / photo?
How the hell do I get to the goddamned spark plugs? (still waiting for my service manual to show up and I've never done this before) Do I have to remove what I think is the air filter?
Is there a picture somewhere on the web of the 1990 535 engine that identifies the components? I'm trying to find one with no luck...
for the love of god...
right, hot engine + R & R plugs = Stripped Threads,more...
heres what I got out of the hammering I got when I recomended antisieze...
Dontuse it, the new plugs (circa 1985+) have a zink coating in such no antisieze is needed. If however you do use it the torque setting to tighten the plugs will pull the threads right out of the heads.
I do know for sure that you will mess up the threads if the engine is hot, learned that on crotch rockets a while back.
