duradan your ideas seem to work if you have done it twice and your truck still works but seems to be pretty contriversal here lol. i too would not want to strip one of those plugs you have been pretty lucky doing it twice and not stripped one.
Whatever, all this had done is turn into a rag on dan thread, lol...
My way has worked plenty of times, but whatever...
"Just cause a lie is told a million times does not make it the truth"
Not saying you guys are lieing, but that dont mean my way is "wrong" or "bad"... Just use the right size of allen and you will never strip those oil plugs as long as they were not tightened like a mother when they were put in...

Leaving the injectors unplugged makes sense too. When I've played with things, I do one side at a time, so I get one side buttoned up before moving on to the next. The CPS makes sure I don't accidentally get ahead of myself.
