so, lets just pretend for a second that we were changing the valve cover on our LQ1. just the front one. now lets also pretend that we forgot to put the seals in for around the spark plugs... in our imaginary world what would you be using to suck the oil out from around the plugs? or should i just let it burn away?

You = FAIL!

I have a hand operated suction device used for draining fluids, such as the transmission or a boat engine(car motor in a boat has no drainplug access)


otherwise, I have drained struts on our cars with the use of a coat hanger and paper tissues.  cut and bend a small hook on the end, stick the tissue on like you would a worm on a fishing hook, and dunk it in the shaft, pull and toss the tissue, stick another on, and repeat until the tube is empty.

I'll bet you do!

Pull the plugs, let it drain in to the cylinders and dry it all off and replace the plugs, it will burn off in 10 seconds.

Honest Mistake.

yeah that was another idea... you think i should also blast the plug boot out with something too? when i pulled one out they are swimming... lol yuck

[SofaKingWeToddDid]

lol so i let the oil drain into the sparkplug holes... and started her right up. HAHAHAHA goddamn was that funny when the GF is standing behind the car, in the garage!!! hahahahaha i soooo shoulda pushed it out first, and it took a good 5 or 10 mins to burn off. HAHA well, i guess i learned something today.

GF doesnt like the smell of burned oil

[Prospeeder]

replace the plug wires too, lol

[SofaKingWeToddDid]

they were due this payday anyhow. so atleast thats not too bad. im thinking of looking online for some 8mm ones, any suggestions on brands to avoid?

[SofaKingWeToddDid]

-on a side note the car drive a whole lot smoother when the plugs arent swimming in oil.
