- Anyone who knows our engine compartment knows that by removing the current intakes there is a great deal more maneuvering room under there so you might as well replace the spark plugs since they are more readily accessible;
- If you are going to replace the spark plugs you might as well replace the distributors;
- If you have all of that stuff off, high performance spark plug wires would be an easy upgrade;
- I have my eyes on the Racing Dynamics headers – with the intakes off, it would be relatively easy to get the exhaust manifolds off…
- And the reason for my post in the first place – I have a rocker arm cover oil leak on the passenger side. With the intakes off I will replace the gaskets on both sides – however with the rocker cover off, wouldn’t it make sense to adjust everything under there as well?? I don’t know how to do this. I am willing to learn and do all of the work, but is there anyone in the S.F. Bay Area who knows what to do, and how to do it? There is beer and pizza on the table as an enticement.
Any input would be appreciated – especially in the area of performance spark plugs and wires.
Thanks in advance!!

Be sure that the leak on the passenger side is not coming from the belt tensioner. I had this last year, and at first glance, you can't discern it. Also, depending on your mileage, perhaps changing the serpentine belt would be a good idea.
