Plug change and larger turbos
Do larger turbos, say GT 3076's present a problem when changing the spark plugs?

I have never had problems with my GT35s fouling the spark plugs.

Rob,

I have not changed mine in 10K miles...should have done it when I put the new turbos on.

C 16 causes the plugs to foul earlier, yes?

Sean you do not need to remove the turbos. It just takes a smaller hand to get in there. We did them on mine since I have put the 3076's on. Tommy should be able to take care of you easy.

Sean,

I would have changed your plugs, coil packs and coolant tank when you had the motor out. Good luck!

Ran a 6.3 60-130 in traffic...shooting for a 5.9.

Coolant tank? We replaced the oil cans. I have 13K on the car, I need new coils? How much?
