My longest one was long enough to start to round off the corners! And that was after a good soak with the WD-40 and a few taps with the hammer. It's going to need heat and/or an impact socket to get it out, and I have neither. Stupid thing was only meant to be tightened to 20Nm.
Otherwise managed to get through the day and keep all my knuckles, so it hasn't been a total loss. Getting that fuel filter housing out has me buggered though. I'm sure when I do see how it's done it'll be a d'oh moment.

Yeah, I think it's going to be a new sump plug as the corners were starting to round. Even if I got it out I'd have just issues next time. Did a bit of googling last night and saw a lot of people complaining about tight and soft sump plugs on Z19DTH engines, so it's not just me.
I plan on investing in a set of bolt grips to get that sucker out.
Just took the resonator off the airbox, about 3L worth of waste of space.
Hard to tell any real difference due to the heat, maybe a little bit more responsive and a little more sound, could just be that old friend placebo though. Can't be a bad thing removing it, there's no need for it
Bought my new sump plug. $25.71 - Thanks Holden
Also invested in a set of Bolt Grips. That sucker is coming out next weekend!

Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.
This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....
