Spacers

Ok, so i have seen people recommend NWP Spacers, but i don't understand how they work or what they do, would anyone like to elaborate on how they work?

Might want to consider new oem ignition coils in the rear and replacing the valve cover since you are taking off the intake manifold anyhow.

but if it does break you have to rip open the upper intake manifold again

That's not a good reason to do that when they cost far to much to just drop money on them like that, if their not broken they don't need to be replaced, and the injectors can be cleaned without removing them with a cheap cleaner, I will check spark plugs to make sure I haven't fried any of them

Takes about 5 min to remove manifold. I'll take my chances as I've got over 200k miles on origianls.
