1995 Honda Civic1.6L V-TECH Motor v4This is a good car there is only one problem the engine overheated and melted the plug wires. I replaced the Part but needs to have plug tubes cleaned out due to melted plastic. I need help from a mechanic expert about this as i do not have the tools to do the job but i could get them tools.
unless the melted plastic interferes with the new tubes or spark plugs, there is no reason to try to clean the plastic out. if you can get the plugs out and put new ones in and put the wires on with no problem then just leave the residue in there...it won't hurt anything. you are talking about a major undertaking if you want to remove the tubes to clean them. The valve cover has to come off to get to the tubes and the tubes are usually pressed into the base of the head so the head may have to come off as well. you might want to just pull the wires and try to use a rat-tail file down into the tube to scrape away the excess plastic on the inside of the tube (leave the spark plugs in place if you try this so the filings don't get into the engine). Then use a vacuum cleaner to suck the filings out of the tube before you put the wires back on. I'd recommend that as the best thing to do if the burnt plastic is a concern. Otherwise, I'd leave it alone. hope that helps
