    Default tuneup

    well the next project i want to do on the 540 is a tuenup to help my idle as well as a flat spot I seem to have while accelrating at highway speeds. I also noticed my valve cover gaskets are leaking. So what do I need to adress that besdies valve cover gaskets? are there gaskets that go around the spark plugs?

    I plan on getting spark plugs, fuel filters, air filter and do an oil change too. Seems like people prefer NGKs over bosch plugs on here.

    go to real oem and get every possible seal for the valve covers, all of the little o-rings on mine were crusty the clowned.
