plog help and suggestions

[chickenfried]

if i get a mesage back i will be getting a plog for my gtp. i am just wondering if anyone has any helpful advise on installing, like what i will need, how to install, etc...

its so easy and straight forward to install, be careful with them though as some older models are all cracked at the welds

like kuntzie said straight forward as repairs come its 6 or 7 bolts/studs in the mani and the xover bolts clean gasket surface install new gasket loosly bolt in plog line up xover torq it all down and enjoy

its a very easy install. when i did mine i had to temporarly remove the dipstick tube. finding the little hole it went back into was the hardest part of the entire job

[chickenfried]

so i can use the same bolts/studs, and nuts... and other than the plog the only thing i need to get is a gasket?

[rolyat]

IMO a reused stock exhaust manifold gasket is better than a felpro or any other aftermarket gasket. If you get a new one go to the stealership and get an OEM gasket.

[Jakegday]

you do not need to buy a new gasket. unless you break something, the plog itself is the only part you need

[Rather B Blown]

careful with the crossover bolts, they'll break on you

[chickenfried]

awsome. thanks for the tips guys!

ok soak the bolts the day before with liquid wrench then remove the front bracket and dog bones and dipstick tube for easy install take spark plug wires off make sure u mark them then just undo the bolts and put plog in i used my old bolts and gasket good luck with ur install

x2 on soaking the bolts. Especially the crossovers. I've never come across a manifold bolt that didn't come right out, but I've broken a ton of crossover bolts.

ok so iknow where to get a new gasket if i need one. but is htere a problem if i can get an oem at like... o reillys? and if the xover bolts get messed up do i get them at an auto parts store or what? dumb questions but i had to ask
