Be a little more specific. "Need" as in they are missing or broken into multiple pieces? Are you trying not to repair / repaint anything? Cuz...
I've certainly seen worse. At least they don't smell from bad gas, just a little corrosion from when the guy had it parked out in a car port....
That's what drives me to do all this shit and not wait until there is a problem, especially when everything is exposed and the easiest time to...
REMOVE SPARK PLUGS FROM HOLES IN ENGINE - ALL FOUR, cover said holes with rags, try and crank motor. If successful you will have a mess on your...
