2JZGTE rebuild
#107
just hammer or press that thing slowly making sure you don't damage the tip of the plug under
#108
Or you can use that other type of spark plug gapper that you can just slide the tip under it and adjust. i use it all the time.

You are right , hammering is a crude way .. lmaol .. my bad . I just try to be careful and make use of what I have if I don't have the right tool at hand and need to do things right away... I love that show McGyver ... do with what you have ! A small long nose plier is better than hammering .

You can buy a spark plug gaptool at Sears. They have feel gauges with a dual hooked tool that an bend the ange of teh spark plug. They are less than $10

I don't really know, it has 232k now, will be around 236K when I take it off.
I will also take off the serpentine belt tensioner, oil pan, mounts, starter, alternator, wiring
Maybe $100-200?? Don't know how much they go for.

Be careful using this type of plug. I would remove that one and put an actual rubber reinforced on. Put a clamp on the end to hold it in place and the other end, use a bolt. Screw it in, then use a clamp to hold the bolt in place. Never have to worry about this dry rotting over six months or so due to heat. I know from experience. Mine leaked and or busted and my car ran hot. Jmo!

Yeah I agree, the looks aren't that great, but it works well. Very well! Mine has been like this for over six months plus. When that rubber cap broke, it was dry rotted, it fell apart. They hate heat. The rest of your build is coming along and looking good.
