Thanks!

I've read a ton of the 606 GP threads, and am sufficiently spooked. The intake manifold was coming off this weekend anyway for some fuel line re-routing, so I have the GP reamer on hand and was going to pull & ream them.

I already decided that they are all going to come out easily, no problem; I intend to will it so. I just need an appropriate sacrifice for the Altar of the om606 Gods.

Either way, I don't begrudge it. I was pleased as punch to be able to test the individual plugs in under 5 minutes flat. Sure beats pulling the "bus bar" on a old VW diesel. Whoever came up with that design deserves to eat a bowl of them.
