1) i was pulling off the spark plug wires and they are realy stuck hard on there and the inside metal connector thing broke on a few of em so i have to get new wires. and 2) i was trying to get to the back wires on the passengers side and i broke the smog pump pipe off the metal connector. It mustve really been rusty and it doesnt really matter cuz im shitcanning the smog pump anyways. but still it doesn't say much for things to come that might matter :chainsaw:

change of subject, i soaked my heads in greased lightning so I probably need new valve seals right? how do you change them on a set of E7's?1989 Lincoln Town Car - "Anabelle" - Original block, .030 over with SpeedPro pistons, rods fitted with ARP hardware, FRPP +volume oil pump, GT-40 3bar heads, Crane 1.72 rockers, 89' Fox cam, 93' Cobra lower intake, Explorer upper and 65mm TB, 93' Lightning EGR spacer, K&N intake kit from a 4.0L Ranger, 19lb/hr injectors w/ 87 Mark VII ECM, cat/smog deletes, Big Brake conversion, 3.55 K-Code Trac-Lok/Disc brake rear axle, CVPI LCA's w/1" sway bar in rear, wagon front sway bar, BBK 2.5" off-road H-Pipe, Flowmaster super 40s, HPP wheels, 3G alternator w/LMR.com wiring kit, gear reduction starter conversion, Best 1/4 time: 16.0 @ 85mph.Comment

Compress the valve springs, pull the keepers and the spring off the valve. Seals slide on or off from that point. Just put a little oil on the valve shank and where they slide down onto the guide area. While the springs are off it would be a good idea to pull the valves out and inspect them. The exhaust valves are probably more likely to be in bad shape than the intake, so if they're toast you might want to pick up a set of exhaust valves and lap them in the seats before putting the heads back together. I think a whole set of exhaust valves cost me about $65.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Re: just started my HO conversion already broke 2 things
They sell just the ends for 8mm plug wires. You could crimp some new ends on. You could also try to uncrimp the ends of the old ones and reattach them to the wires. You can use a generic crimping tool like they sell at K-Mart. It has an opening for plug wires.Originally posted by 89LincolnTWNcar
That is the cheap way to do it.
