More fiddly jobs done (and none of the comments from the RWC inspector, but one might help)
O-ring has all the hall marks of being a painful job, but I will get it done.... soon.
Spark plugs weren't too bad, until #6 where the heater tap is in the way a bit. Undo it, and it's all nice and easy to get at.
No photos - I'm rubbish when doing theses sort of jobs as I've broken too many phones working on cars...
Oh, and we filled up with fuel... yeah... uh... perhaps a Fuelly record isn't the best idea! Last tank (with a lot of town running, a duff O2 sensor and incorrect spark plug gap) was 18.1L/100km. At about the same, the 4Runner was doing 16-20L/100km, so if the O2 sensor was playing up as much as I think it is, then we should see some good improvements.
- Fitted up a new O2 sensor, and that's improve the idle - drops down much quicker now on start up.
- New O-ring picked up for the dizzy, but not installed yet
- Spark plugs all re-gapped to 0.8mm - they were around 0.875
