Default RE: spark plugs

on these cars there is only one that is kinda hard if u dont have ur toold and thats the passenger one under the throttle body but besides that all the rest are pretty easy to work with just take them off and drop them back in and torque em. i change mine at 60k it had the autolite platinums were those stock or no?

Ever hear of punctuation?

Changing plugs in these engines is a royal pain...I've done it a few times. I would much rather change plugs on my Windsor, FE, or 385.

Motorcraft would be the factory plug.

i think changing my plugs is an enjoyment because of how easy they are to do. come on guys, never picked up a wrench? its easy as pie on this motor.

most part stores carry them

NGKs are actually very common, esp in dirtbikes, quads, and lawn equ.

and only 1 cyl is obstructed, and only by the rubber intake that can be removed with two clamps.

when i did mine i didn't find any of them to be hard. that might be because i had my intake taken completely off.

i had my intake completely off too. i dont mean they r imposible but the one right under the tb is the one that takes a lil more time. in some parts stores they have to order the ngk. not all though. i ran that lucas fuel cleaner, and i didnt see a differnce. anyother cleaner u guys recommend. sorry for the bad punctuation....
