    ABS -vs- non ABS Vipers

    What routine maintenance is due on my 99 RT/10?

    My service manual says 20 ft/lbs; amazing I just looked it up after changing many, many sets of plugs throughout the years - I guess one just gets used to the 'feel'. Don

    Engine Mount Install Question...

    There is no difference - right or left. One set of 'tabs' will be toward the front of the car, the other set will be toward the rear. The 'tabs' are a safety interlock only. Later,

    What routine maintenance is due on my 99 RT/10?

    Yes to all said. Plugs are EASY as stated, use stock Champion plugs #412. Plug Wires are also EASY as stated above; do them ONE at a time. Use AB's (Adam) wires, for a GEN 1. They are all marked for each cylinder - eliminates the need to determine the correct length...

    As Bill said: Is this perhaps because the leakage is virtually all, if not all, from the water (coolant) passages below the the cylinders, thus the leakage down and virtually not possible to leak into the cylinders?
