Need help ASAP with smog removal

I don't know what size plugs it was that I bought .... but I'm pretty sure they went all the way in. What size did you buy? How long are they? Hindsight 20/20 .... I don't think I would use the TFS plugs again, unless plugging the front of the heads. They can be a hassle to get in.


If worse comes to worse ... just go get 2 grade 8 bolts at Lowe's or a hardware store. The size you need are 5/8-11 x 3/4" long. Or you can just bust up 2 spark plugs and use them as bolts.


I hate that this is going so bad for ya'. Hope you get it straightened out soon.


EDIT: also be sure that you haven't "mis-threaded" the plugs.

Also, do you put your smog tube bolts back in the heads??

I did (to be on the safe side, I guess) .... but I'm not sure if you have to or not.

I cut my fittings off the tubes and put them back on backwards... worked great!
