Thanks Doc! Is replacing plugs a pretty novice diy job?

 

Plug replacement is pretty simple overall, but it is something that can be dicked-up so bad that you can cause some serious problems. This is why shops charge $150 - $200.

Things to keep in mind:

1 - Need to move other stuff out of the way such as the intake pipe.

2 - You will need to remove the COP's first.

3 - You will need a long enough extension and the proper size plug socket. Not a big deal. You will also need a swivel to get at the the plugs in the back.

4 - Remove the plugs and inspect

5 - The new plugs need to be gapped properly.

6 - You will need anti-seize to put on the threads of the new plugs (some people think that you should not use any)

7 - Plugs need to go in while avoiding cross threading. There are some tricks to avoid this from happening.

8 - Tighten the plugs by finger-tip , then use a racket to snug them. It is best to use a trq wrench. I am not sure how many lbs you are supposed to use.

9 - Put everything back together.

 

Talk about topic resurrection.

 

they will be fine for your car, they are a "full thread" design that will fit ALL Modulars, are of the stock heat range and a "fine wire" plat/irid tipped plug....so your good

 

Thanks Randy you da man
