How do I get atf in my engine?

I'm trying to put Atf in through the trailing plug holes, but when i pull the funnel out, all the atf runs back out. Can I put the atf in through the carb and intake manifold, or will that **** up my carb/jets?

How much are you trying to put in? If the rotor face is right near the plug holes only a minimal amount will fit. Try rotating the engine till the apex seal is below the leading (lower) sparkplug holes, and put the atf in the trailing (upper) plug holes. Repeat for all 3 sides of both rotors.

BTW I do not think you need more than a few tablespoons per rotor face, someone correct me if they think he needs more.

Well first take the big jug of ATF and drink a bunch, now firmly put your mouth over the tail pipe and blow, it will get back up in there LOL Just joking...


The reason its coming out of the trailings holes is cause on the inside of the rotor housing the hole is about the size of a toothpick... Just pour it in the carb, and open the throttle. When you are done, wash it down a little with carb cleaner

I went back and did it... I forgot to tighten the leading spark plugs and the atf was running out of those holes. I'm going to let the car sit for a week now, then drain out the excess and try to start it.
