Incredibly stupid question
OK, so Angela's out of town for the holiday, and I thought this
would be a good time to take care of some things on her 90Q20V.
I stopped by my parts place and picked up new plugs, cap, and rotor.
Today, I open the hood, and realize that I dont have a !(*&#@(!@#(*&
clue how to get at the plugs! The wires seem to be an integral part
of some heavy-duty metal contraption underneath that is attached
to the valve cover and defies removal. I've pulled, twisted, and tugged
hard enough to worry about breaking wires. No go.
Someone with the 20V NA engine, HELP! Get me outta the doghouse
before she comes home monday. While I'm at it, I might as well
ask for tips on replacing the cap/rotor in that wonderful place
they decided to put it. I hate this engine. Ain't room to swing
a dead cat in there.
Last stupid question, this time about my early '89 100Q.
I was looking through pulling the oil pan to check for my leak,
and Bentley's does not show an oil cooler or it's plumbing
for the NF engine. My car clearly has one. What does this change?
Is it as simple as buying a new gasket, pulling the pan, scraping
and replacing the gasket, and reinstalling?

Only my cat shares my opinions, and she's too heavy to care.
