Anybody own the big allen wrench for the plugs under the intake manifold ? Had mine powdercoated and need to reinstall the plugs Really don't want to buy one for a one time job. I think it's like 19mm.

19mm = 3/4" use a 1/2" nut & bolt and tighten with a wrench or socket. if it's 19mm

Thanks Bobby. It worked great. 3/8 bolt and nut = 38 cents
