Re: 2000 3.8 #2 missfire and strange plenum noise and rattling noise possibly cured
1) Block holes going into the block for oil return, so you don't drop a keeper.
2) Buy extra valve keepers, because they are easy to drop.
3) Use a compression guage spark plug attachment, and a regulated air compressior(120 psi).
4) Make sure you take the valve stem out of compression guage spark plug attachment, else 120 psi wont go into cylinder 2 to hold the valves up.
5) Use a large plastic drinking straw packed with grease to hold the valve keeper during replacement.
It'a a 10min job with the valve cover off!
I had no luck with magnetic screw drivers, or grease on a screw driver.
