no you don't have to drain your rad to install a plenum spacer. . .

might be a good idea to have someone else that's a little more mechanically inclined to do it for you/show you though. . .

just a thought. . .

I used a second stock gasket to install mine instead of what the instructions recommended and have had no problems. The only issue I have is I did not put thread locker on the bolts and have to tighten them regularly. Also make wure you don't over tighten the bolts. I believe it is recommended to use a screw driver type handle (that accepts a socket) and hand tighten them with gloves on (I don't remember the torque specs. The gloves give you more grip and it would be hard to over tighten with hand strength only.
