I'm planning on purchasing the RnD Kit this week but had some questions. Currently I have a Kinetix SSV manifold installed and really don't want to take it off to install the RnD kit. I know with the stock manifold ud have to take it off inorder to get to the valve covers because its much larger than the SSV but in my case I thought it might be much easier to work with. So I want to know If I can do the DIY kit with out removing the Mani????? And also I just recently installed some sparkplugs and barelly decided to do this DIY and was wondering if I should install some new sparkplugs or not??? And one more question would I be good using the gaskets on the valve covers or should I replace both sidesor is it even worth buying them. Thanks

 

With the Kinetix you'll just have to get in there and look to see if you have the clearance you need. I've never worked around one so I can't say for sure. If you recently replaced your spark plugs there's no need to change them already. And you will need to install new VC gaskets. I can't remember if they come with the R&D kit or not.

 

Yea I plan on just buying the O ring kit and doin it my self because the DIY is fairly simple. Ill probably end up buying new valve covers unless I can clean them up real nice. I kno for sure the drivers side I won't have a problem with the VC but not sure of the passenger side. I'm thinking it can be done but well have to see. I'm sure some one has the SSV that can give me some insight on this.
