Part 2 the installation
Next it was time to clean again and then sand with the Emery cloth the inside of the plug hole. Sand only as you pull out as to keep passages clear.
I then cleaned the new plugs so the sealant would be sure and have the best chance of sticking.
Place a thin coating around the outside of the plug and the inside of the hole. allow to get tacky.
This next part was the best way I could come up with to "Tap" the plugs in - I used a 1/2" sliding T-bar with a 22mm socket and placed it into the plug and tapped into the hole. This part went very quickly.
The last picture is the old plug as you can see they were ready to replace.
Now to flush and use the proper coolant.
I hope this will help some of you in the future.
Regards
