just hammer or press that thing slowly making sure you don't damage the tip of the plug under

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.

Yea i find that easier to use then a hammer and you can pick it up at any auto store for like $1. I tried the hammer method and it didnt work out to well for me haha.

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 .

Are you building a different motor for your IS300 or is it going to your GS?

I haven't started on my build yet. Those pics were from (3) years ago when I turbocharged my IS300. I need to find a spare block becuse I sold my spare motor to a guy a month or so ago.

You can have my GE block for cheap.

I need a spare head too, but how much are we talking?

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've seen that before, it's just looks cleaner this way. I will take it off and use a thicker/threaded ply hose with a bolt. Good call, thanks.

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.
