How often do you change spark plugs? Should be easy to make up the cost with current gas prices

30-40k. I was told that Iridiums would bring my mileage up too, but it decreased 1-2mpg. The standard Denso coppers get the best mileage in my truck.

Just got done installing the motor mounts using the brackets from the 3.0

Also put on a new oil filter since I had to remove the old one to put the bracket back on

. Even the double electrode plugs only ever spark on one side; whichever side has the least corrosion/ wear and therefor the least electrical resistance.

standard Denso coppers; agreed

Agreed on the denso's, I was about to buy the E3's from one associate at advanced but this other associate overheard that they were for my runner and that I wanted to get as much gas mileage out of the 4banger as I could and told me the best would be the denso's since they are the factory plugs, changing em up would cause the ECU to recalibrate and send in more fuel to burn

Got the Fly wheel machined for $31 and the bracket lift sand blasted to get rid of the powder coat that was chipping off for $35.

Repainting the parts now and hopefully installing flywheel and clutch tonight

Nice, did you do anything else to it this weekend?

Point of curiosity, could you use the crossover exhaust pipe from a 3.4 T100 rather than having to fabricate one?
