Yup i fitted these to this car last summer, Have faith David!. All correctly torqued up too..

Do a compression test. But get all the plugs out first.
Try using a decent 16mm deep sparkplug socket,UJ and extention bar. It will get them all out

Aslso check no split oil has gone in the injector contacts

yep john you did a good job considering the state the car was in before.

i couldnt be bothered to get a compression test. but it wasnt that anyway...

there was water and oil inside the dizzy! i swear i checked! it must be a crappy cap or something, so going to replace it. the oil came in from me spilling oil on the rocker cover i think...

after driving another car around for a while and driving my silvia, ive noticed my chest has got hairier.

cheers for the help.
