Fitting new ignition Leads - GPX

[Kace]

Anyone know what's required in order to fit a new set of ignition leads. I thought it would be a 5 minute job but when I removed the GPX engine cover it doesn't look quite as straightforward as I thought.

Anyone done a set of these ?

You have to take out inlet manifold unfortunately... to get to the sparks in the rear bank... i did this a month ago. Not that bad as it looks

Good excuse to paint the manifold at last

, plenum has to come out to change the rear leads, you might as well change the rear plugs if they havn't been done in a while. Its not a difficult job per se - if you can use a screw driver, an allen key and a socket set then you can change the rear plugs or leads.

Yeah - think I'll give it a go as I have the Denso's for the rear too. Only thing is I didn't buy the gasket, so hopefully I won't rip mine taking it off

You should never drink when when you're working on an engine..!

Did this today - sorry no additional pics, but that other 'DIY' guide gives a very good idea.

Job took me more than 2 hours to install new plugs and leads. Sure it can be done in 1, but only if you're confident you know what you're doing, don't have any issues with tight bolts (I had) or getting the plenum off or back on.
