I've had the same leads on my engine since the factory in 2002 and they're looking a bit ropey. So I dropped into our local parts guys and got some new ones from Bosch -- so far so good.

I can change the leads on 1,2 but 3,4 and the centre coil wires are blocked by the Dry Sump Tower.

Do I really have to remove the whole of the Dry Sump tower just to do this or is there a better way? I considered loosening the Distributor cap from the head but you still can't gain any space to do 3,4 replacement.

Where's Oilyhands when you need him?

If you undo the two screws securing the cap you can rotate to a little and then lean it over sufficiently for the main lead to be removed.

Bless you Oily, I started down that route but then I'd probably not gain any significant movement. I'll give it a try as soon as I can get into the garage! Cheers...
