I seen in a video this is your old Eclipse you got back, which is awesome. Seems like when these cars need something they need everything. I just finished my 03 GT Spyder up today, did: timing belt, water pump, front and rear valve covers, spark plugs, wires, new idle air control valve, new egr solenoid, bank 1 sensor 2 O2 bypass, took the fuel temp sensor off a Lancer fuel pump and soldered it to my fuel pumps sending unit. She's all done now running great no codes. This is my second 3g, and I've had a 2g and a 4g but the 3g is my favorite so I had to pick up another (and keep it this time). Great video bro.
Good video! Just a tip for some. I have an 2003 GTS Spyder, some a couple things are different. For example the fuel injector connectors below the manifold need to be disconnected before lifting up the manifold(I guess the connection wires are shorter than the ones in the video. Also there's more to disconnect if you want to change the valve cover gasket...such as the hose off the brake booster, the throttle cable plate, and a couple more things. This is to gain more space to get the valve cover off.
If I remember right I went with NGKs, always a safe bet. Almost all spark plugs nowadays come pre-gapped, so I don’t gap any plugs unless it’s old enough to have a carburetor, and even then I rarely gap them

What are all measurements i need
Ive done this job a time or two! Its a chore!
anybody know what spark plug socket needed for the job
Just a regular 5/8 Spark plug socket
sounds like a hell alot of work for changing only the spark plugs 😢kinda regret getting one now
What spark plugs did you go with and did you gap them
NGK Iridium are the ones, I usually put in my 02 mitsubishi eclipse gt. They are pregapped.
