    Wire brush on a drill to remove heavy rust. I assume the replacement plugs are brass or stainless. Not automotive zinc plated steel. Did...

    If you carefully lift engine up & forward enough to gain access you'll probably be OK. Don't damage that steering cable!

    I don't believe you have a 1980 4 cylinder engine. Did you fat finger the year? 1988 or 1989 seems more correct. If it's a late 80s...
