You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure. The benefits under this warranty are in addition to other rights and remedies you may have at QUESTIONS AND ANSWERSQ. Will using ACDelco parts void my new vehicle warranty offered by the vehicle manufacturer?

3 A. As ACDelco products are made to exacting standards, their use should not affect your vehicle warranty provided the correct part is used and is correctly fitted. However, if the use of a correctly installed ACDelco part causes a component failure in your vehicle that is not covered by the manufacturer, ACDelco will, subject to the above Warranty Conditions, cover the cost of repair. Q. The manufacturer of my vehicle has rejected a warranty claim as they are claiming the failure was caused by a faulty ACDelco part, will ACDelco cover the repairs?A. In the unlikely event that it is determined that an ACDelco part has lead to a component failure in your vehicle ACDelco will cover the cost of the repair, subject to the above Warranty How do I make a warranty claim?

Check the application section in this catalogue for the recommended SPARK plug. 2. Check condition of old SPARK PLUGS and driving conditions of application and adjust heat rating if appropriate. To function correctly, SPARK PLUGS need to operate hot enough to burn off deposits, and remain below pre-ignition temperature.

9 INSTALLATION GUIDER eplacing SPARK PLUGS may seem like a simple job, but proper procedures must be followed to ensure the best results. While you should always use the vehicle manufacturer s service procedures, which may include removal of certain engine components to access the SPARK PLUGS , here is a basic step by step guide: 1. Be sure that the engine is cool before beginning. 2. Carefully remove the SPARK -plug boots. Grasp the boot, twist it about a quarter turn to break the seal, and then lift it straight off. If the boot does not break free easily, use a SPARK -plug boot puller. As you remove the boots and ignition wires, number them using tape and a marker.

10 3. Clean the area around the SPARK PLUGS using a blast of compressed air, or by blowing through a soda straw. This prevents debris from falling into the combustion chamber when the old SPARK PLUGS are removed. 4. Loosen each SPARK plug using the correct hex-head socket wrench. 5. Remove the SPARK PLUGS and line them up in cylinder order. Inspect the SPARK PLUGS to identify any engine problems that may need attention. 6. Gap the new ACDelco SPARK PLUGS as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Use a rounded feeler gauge or a specific gapping tool to measure the gap between the centre electrode and side electrode. The gauge should pass through the gap snugly but easily. If too loose or too tight, adjust the gap as needed. 7.
