Hello Guys, I haven't been on here in months. My apologies because my search function is not working and neither is my link to TSB's. I heard there was a TSB for spark plug changing. Can somebody please post the link toit in a reply. I've got 33k miles on my on my ride and I'm debating doing a spark plug change.

thanks

Just a NOTE:

I did this with my brother a few weeks ago - there is a LATER TSB that specifies MUSTANG on it and the engine temp comment has CHANGED

it does NOT say warm like this F150 and earlier version says - it says 'room temp' - not hot or warm.


here's my post about the walkthrough

good information, thanks for posting....this should be a sticky

A number of people (myself included) found that with the engine "cold", it was somewhere impossible and difficult to break the plugs loose. In my case, I had let the car sit overnight. I could not break any of the plugs loose. My plugs were OE Motorcrafts that had only been installed 2500 miles, by the dealership with anti-seize. I ran the engine like 3-4 minutes, and shut it off. Now I was able to break them loose. I had no carbon to contend with, like I said, they had only been in 2500 miles. Also, the ham fist at the dealership had way over applied the anti-seize.
I applied a light coat of anti-seize to just the barrel portion of the new Champion #7989 plugs, gapped at .044" and torqued them to 25 ft/lbs. Very happy with the new plugs

This was my experience. Good luck to 'ya.

oh great...more cofusion...fwiw mine were warm when i removed them after 15k, the original plugs. 3 came out effortlessly, the other 5 were more difficult, but not unmanageable

I remain unsure what us forced induction boys are supposed to do about this [&:] Do we carry on with the HO plugs or are there suitable one-piece alternates?

Far as I know you are correct - don't believe there are any colder plugs that are one pieces yet.......
