cubchai Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Thanks for the info.It's quite tempting to do it myself, just worried about the too tight/loose part which will affect performance and other related issues as I read in other topics.

supermike Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 bout £100 quid at honda dealer if i remember correctly.done em myself a couple of times now. quite easy but doesnt seem to have cured the tapping that i get sooo choice is urs.Something just popped up in my mind there. My mates MB6 was making a hellish almost tapping noise, turned out the spark plug was loose! Took them all out cleaned them all up and fired them back in, problem solved!Also my old MB6 made a hell of a funny tapping noise, cut the aircon belt off and it dissapeared.

KiNK43 Posted March 28, 2010 Author Share Posted March 28, 2010 haha, strangely new plugs has actually quietened the engine down a fair bit. the old plugs were orange with rust around the white part so could have been leaking as you said.amazing. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
