The most recent thing I did was to change the oil using Rotella T 15/40 and the Mann oversized filter.

I swapped my spark plug wires for a new Magnacor 8mm set. Changed my oil with Mobil 1 high mileage 10w-40 and Mobile 1 filter. Test fit my dune flag on my new bumper, rearranged things in my toolbox.

Slang,
Like he said, rotate the plug boots about 180 degrees to give more clearance from the hot exhaust manifolds. I hadcto add a couple more wire combs to help route mine. Advance has the combs cheap.

Route the wires higher alo0ng the side of the upper part of the engine.

I changed the oil in Red Rover. Got 15w40 Rotella at K-Mart for $16.99 a gallon. Couldn't find a Mahn filter so I used a Fram Tough Guard. Of course to do all this I had to go to Sears and get a couple new wrenches as all the ones I have are too small. And while I was there I just had to pick up a new tool chest.

Rotella is $12.97 a gallon at WalMart around here. Castrol is $15.97 for the 5qt jugs.

You put a FRAM filter on anything? Good luck with that, I hope the crank is OK when you change your bearings out.
