Chasing a cheap set of second hand leads or even a link to a new cheap set for Mivec.
Also a sparkplug tool if you have an original one! I lent my cam skill one to someone and I can’t remember who.
Hell anyone got a cheap set of front coaxials for sale too!

Original spark plug tools aren't that great. I've got two of em, both have flared out when undoing tight plugs.

Ahh okay, do you have a pic of what tool I need to use?
I'd rather just go buy something that'll fit from super cheap or whereever

Just take a regular spark plug socket and grind it flat on two sides.

You grind two flat spots along the whole length of the socket in opposing directions, to make it thinner.
If you have a lathe, you can just reduce the size all the way around.
I'll grab a pic tomorrow if I remember.
