You wont love it when it comes time to change the spark plugs and wires in that thing. My dad has a Triton motor in his 2000 Ford and the book gives 8.5 hours of labor to change the things. That over an hour per plug. OUCH! I had to do it cause my dad, a mechanic for 50 years, did two cylinders and stormed off swearing. Thanks to rust it took me 10 hours to do.

On my subies it takes about an hour (or less) to change all the sparkplugs!

w00t

and i would consider the boxer engine design to be far from the easiest design. i actually need a light sometimes. but yeah, hour tops on a bad day for the rex.

in his defense we only have 4 to swap....

NN- hell even if we did our plugs twice it wouldn't take more than 1 1/2 hours.

I heard mustangs were a pain in the butt to change also. I suppose I'll stick to Subaru for the sake of easy maint.

BTW nice truck, now you'll be just like Hank Hill

Takes me 30 minutes for all 8 my old Nova SS.

 

[fatcat]

Takes me about 60 seconds on a 1968 VW sand rail

My truck is diesel so I dont touch anything on that...
