Hiya Tracer and others!
I'm not entirely sure how I should go about with the wires. I will try to salvage the boots today. They sat so hard in the plug that when I pulled them up, I crushed a couple of them in the process
But I think I can at least use sealing cap that goes on top of the cover.
The long plastic boot... I am not sure if I need that one if I get a VERY long nose plier. That way, I can use the existing rubber boot on the Accel 4038. I'll simply use the plier to insert / detach the spark plug leads. Since I need to fit a diode string and tubular braid as well all the way down to the spark plug, I think the plastic boot won't be a good idea. As there will be so much stuff going down to the spark plug, it won't fit in the well if I gonna get a long hard-plastic boot as well... BUT, as you suggested to use some silicone spray and see if I can re-use the old plastic boots, I gonna have a go anyway and see how it goes. It's just fun!
500 bucks for a pre-made plasma is a good way to go. It's not that much. I'm building it myself which is more fun, it's really simple. Most people get a bit frightened when they hear about it, but it seems the roof is high here.
I have a multimeter that can read resistance, so I'm good.
The spark plugs are strongly recommended by Toyota to use for this vehicle. They have even a warning sticker on the engine cover to urge the user to get such spark plugs. The engine gets quite hot, and with LPG - even hotter. That's why I love the idea of combining: Groove job, plasma and magnetizer's stuff. It will be so cold when I'm done with it. At least I hope so lol
When doing plasma, spark plugs and leads must have no resistors and hence as low resistance as possible for it to work.
I gave 52 bucks for the Accel crimping tool on Amazon. It looks similar to the one from MSD.
Awww lucky you you got Summit in town. I got my timing light from them... It took more than a month to get it over here from Summit. I almost gave up on them lol
I know this thread covers a lot more than the groove job. I will of course do the groove job on this vehicle, but the main thing I have to do is to fix the overheating issue. I will check the water pump today. If it's good, I can only think of a major flush of all cooling lines + radiator to solve it.
I'll have a go at the PCV as soon as I get time... The first time is always the trickiest huh?
Speaking of spark plugs, the plugs I will use after a lot of research are
Extreme Spark – spark plugs ,auto parts
,mostly since I like their design, but also since they are recommended by the plasma researchers as being a jolly good plug! Don't they look cool? I think most plugs make a difference though even on a dyno, simply because the original standard plugs are so flawed by design. You just need to change them a tiny tiny bit, and suddenly you start seeing improvements. (Ron and others recommend increasing the spark gap for example!)
