Engine Cover Paint

OK - - - I worked it out - - - You need a 7 / 32 AF Socket with an extension to get in between the leads .
If you do them one at a time it's a no brainer to get the leads in the original locations and firing order ,
Took 15 minutes with the right tools .
Couple of Pics :--

Hi Racer - sorry for the stupid question, but what is the bar accross the back of the engine, mounted on top of the struts?

Thats a strut brace it there to prevent the shock towers from flexing on heavy cornering and makes the steering firmer and yes they do move to a certian degree
I had a VB COMMODORE that flexed that much it actually cracked the towers
