does my engine need to be dropped to change spark plugs?

 

You do not have to drop the engine for spark plugs/coilpacks. I'd remove the mufflers though. It's so much easier with the mufflers out of the way and it only takes an addition 30 min to drop the cans.

 

thanks geetee !

I just found DIY on renntech also

 

while you're in there, replace the spark plug tube O-rings and take a good look at the coils. I replaced mine with the new 997 part number, got them off a seller on ebay for ~$225 - MY99 with 105k Miles.

good luck

link? i have muffler bypass pipes currently installed, so maybe i'll do my spark plug change before i put my PSE hack muffler in..

 

I thought the mk2's didn't have tubes and o rings?

 

i have a 996 mk2 (2002 c2), and i'm about to do spark plugs.

I bought 6 spark plugs, and 2 beru coil-packs.

I was advised to buy 2 because apparently the 2 nearest the hottest location of the engine always crack.

Before I attempt this, do I need anything aside from the 6 spark plugs and 2 coil-packs?

 

Nearest the engine??? You might want to rephrase that...

 

i meant nearest to the hottest part of the engine. no more drinking + 6speedonline
