    2.2 liter

    380 000 km.... I am not complaining.. I love this car. It's like Herbie or
    something..

    Anyway, it looks like a couple of the spark plug tube seals are leaking.. Is
    this an easy job? (valve pan gasket,etc,) or is there some bizzaro thing I
    need to know before I get started.. Herbie has a way of throwing curve balls
    whenever I attempt to fix him... Like the time back in '99 I thought the
    brake rotor replacment job would take 30 minutes...

    Comments welcome.

    OK...

    Thanks a bunch... Looks like Herbie strikes again.. Not too bad though.. I
    guess...

    simple gasket replacement. easy.

    and don't strip the whole freakin' head down like elle did on her
    d-series motor. it's only the gaskets that get disturbed when you do
    the valve lash that need to be replaced.
