Thanks for the advise boys.. Can I also check something when you remove the manifold is it a good idea to change the head gasket while you're there?

And 1 - 1.5 hours man, thats not bad. Man you guys should open your own FTO servicing shop, I reckon lots of people will come to you guys.

You don't need to change the gasket, it's metal, but be careful when you remove it.

I had the same problem so i went out to repco, bought a decent 3/8 spark plug cocket then got it cur down on a lathe. Fits perfectly and does the job nicely.

If you dont have someone who has access to a decent lathe you could probably wander into one with a bottle of something in the other hand and they coul do it for you in 5min flat
