isolator bolts replaced - success

[thatsonlyme]

thanks to information find on this forum, I've successfully fixed my check engine light caused by isolator bolts vacuum leak.
It took me about 3 hours to complete the procedure, without valve cover replacement (supposedly my car has updated cover). I purchased kit off of e-bay for less than $100 and so far everything seems fine. I drove the car for 60 miles since with multiple restarts and check engine light didn't come back on.
I'll report if this fixed engine pinging.
this was very easy repair. I didn't use torque wrench because i didn't have one that measures such low torque values. for ease of access, I'd highly recommend to remove engine cowling.
I gave up on changing spark plugs though, as they are very difficult to reach.

This might take a couple of tanks of gas.

Also this is one of the few cases where I would recommend something like Sea Foam (available at Walmart or most discount auto stores).
