changing fuel injectors

RossWM · #1 (**permalink**) 04-20-2012, 09:37 AM

i was getting ready to change injectors 4 and 8 so went to remove the drain plugs under the valve covers and the head on these plugs just want to strip out
does anyone have any suggestion on how to remove these or is there some other way to prevent oil getting into my cylinders without messing with these plugs

got one plug out and went ahead and pulled the number 8 injector and filled the cylinder full of oil, guess thats what i get for being impatient
