Hello.
New member here who just picked up an 97 Mark & I have oil on 3 of 4 plugs on driver's side. Been cruising the various forums for a bit to find out how to best go about getting the VC off & replaced. So far it appears that pulling the DS motor mount bolt & raising that side of engine is considered best practice, but many of the posts i've found are quite old & sometimes they reference even older posts that are no longer valid. Anything else i need to know? So far I've got the VC loose & most the lines/cables going over the top out of the way i believe except for the main loom that clips down next to the injectors themselves. Haven't figured out the best way to pull that loom off the long studs w/o damaging something. I'm guessing that loom needs moved as well so the top side of VC has extra space to move.
Thanks
