    pull the manifolds off, starter motor and do both sides cos usually if ones leaking, the rest arent too far behind

    lol you love capitals

    the service manual says :
    1) tap it into it's opening using a punch and hammer.
    2) grasp the edge of the plug using multigrip pliers, then use shoulder of pliers to lever plug out
    3) clean the hole
    4) coat the new one in Loctite 242 or equiv
    5) using a socket fitting the rim of the plug, or a suitable tube, drive the plug squarely into into the opening. Make sure it's square, or it will leak

    Put it all back together, and bam, job done :P

    Hope it's as easy as they make it sound

    another thing is make sure they dont fall in the block
    this is bad

    if it taps inside the block, it could set off the knock sensor backin off the timing causing lower power.
