Teh Beretta

Could probably use a tune-up *runs fantastic, but CEL says cyl 4 misfire, and it has 194K on it, Figure for the $12 investment for new sparkplugs would probably help power/mpg/etc*, is it possible to change the rear plugs on these fucking things without tearing half the motor apart?

The motor mounts are a PITA to undo like the Wbodys. Trust me.

I cannot remember my 3.1, been so long.

Beretta's do not have dogbones.

oooooh....interesting. Well...my suggestion on rocking the motor forward went out the window

 

[Dasfinc]

Not as bad as my mom's 3.1L mini van, it is that with half the windshield over it.... It takes some flexibility, but it is do-able, and will get easier each time you change em

I did a headgasket job with a buddy of mine on a 99 Olds 3.4 powered Van... never again...

its really just the coil pack in the way... its one of those things where the first time you do it, it takes longer then it should, but every time after that its easy as pie cause you have "been there, done that" the first safety recall i did for 3.8 engine fires took me about an hour cause i didnt figure out the "easy" way to do them yet.. now i know exactly what has to come out and what can just be moved and what-not and i can do them in less than 30 minutes. experience is key

 

[Dasfinc]

Nothing else to move? Just the coil pack?

 

[Stink Star]

some various harnessess maybe a heat sheild... its not too bad. once you actually move the coil pack you will realize there is alot more room than you anticipated. dont go SHO style and take the upper intake off

with the right extensions I've found you can do the rear SHO bank without pulling the manifold.

Yea, I'll probably tackle this on Sunday if I'm up to it.

Changed the plugs and accessory belt this weekend, Fucker purrrs.
