@Tony. I don’t mind the thumbs down if they would let me know why and I
never do. Yes, the trolls are everywhere.

Great set of videos. Let’s hear it for the mentally ill thumbs down youtube
trolls.

Hi wtfhellas! Thanks for the great compliment! Actually, I mentioned this,
but it’s in the previous video of the cylinder leak down test at timeline
1:10. For that cover, it’s two socket head bolts where a 5mm hex bit will
remove them. I’m not sure if you have watched all of the videos, but I
believe it will cover every detail if you have to go as far as removing the
head. So, if you don’t mind me asking, what type of job are you getting
ready to do? Thanks for watching!

This is great video series! I have a Chevrolet Evanda with the same engine
and I enjoy watching your clear and thorough video. I loved that dog too!
Greetings from Finland!

stuzman52 says:

Thank you very much Giz…I hope the videos can help you out if you ever
need them. Oh yes, the dog is a sweetie pie, American Eskimo and her name
is Josie. Greeting to you and all the fellow people in Finland from the
U.S. Oh, I’ve started a new series on ABS sensors and diagnosis for another
car if you’re interested. Lots of detail in those also. More coming…

Hi jacubv3. Surely you’re not serious are you? To change the spark plugs,
you do NOT remove the head gasket. To see the spark plugs changed on this
engine, go to my last video, “Head Installation Part 9 (We’re Done!) and
you’ll see the spark plugs changed. And the head is installed on the
engine. Maybe you’re talking about the spark plug cover which sits on top
of the camshaft cover which covers the spark plugs If that’s what you mean,
then yes, that cover has to be removed. Thanks for watching!

wtfhellas says:

I actually am changing wires and plugs. I never owned a car that had a
plastic cover on them. of course designed to go to the dealership. Never
once will I ever or needed to go to a dealership for small things on a car.
thanks again for the info and video keep it up!

jacubv3 says:

you have to remove the head gasket to replace/change your spark plugs
correct?

wtfhellas says:

EXCELLENT! finally a video for the car with 3 faces. Daewoo, Chevrolet
(here in Canada) and Suzuki in the united states. quick question, what type
and size of tool are needed to remove the first two bolts to have access to
the spark plug wires? thanks.

Darren Truel says:

Maybe this should be renamed Part 2 and the ‘Suzuki Forenza with Broken
Timing Belt’ be called Part 1. It was not until getting started on Head
Removal Part 1 that I realized there was a former video with steps already
taken. Awesome work on teaching and the video was very clear. Thank you!

stuzman52 says:

I gave some more thought to your question as it’s not very clear. If you’re
asking, “I’m going to replace the head gasket. Do I need to replace/change
the spark plugs?”. If that’s what you’re asking, then no, you don’t need to
remove the plugs to replace the head gasket. But if you’re going to replace
the head gasket, you’ll probably want to put new plugs in when you’re done.

stuzman52 says:

Ah, that’s a pretty easy job. If you want to see the procedure of what I
did with the plugs and wires, check out the Head Installation Part 9 at
timeline 30:19 It will have the torque spec and gap setting there. Good
luck on your repair.

I know how hard it is to work and record. Thank you for your video.

stuzman52 says:

Thank you Darren for the compliment on the videos! The part 1, 2, etc. is
embedded in the videos, but here’s what I did. If you are another viewer
starts looking at the 1st part of head removal, I have a description at
timeline 6 sec explaining that you should review the timing belt broken
video because of a few parts to remove beforehand. I also say that you can
click here to go back to that video for reviewing. So, that should take
care of you and anyone else. Thanks for that Darren!

stuzman52 says:

Thanks Roman for the comment. Actually, the work of pulling the stuff off
was pretty easy. I think my wife, the camera lady had the tougher job.
Thanks again!
