I believe the motor is gonna have to be lowered down quite a bit (drop the k-member) in order to get clearance for a drill to the back cylinders under the cowl

Far easier on an enginestand

Yes it can be done in the car. You will need a right angle drill. Use a air powered drill as there size is smaller then an electric.

It can be done in the car, but is MUCH easier on an engine stand. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
