well all new plugs are in and not one broke. not bad for a motor with 90,000 miles. i broke them losse last night sprayed pb-blaster and let them set over night. then i backed them out about a whole turn more blew out the pb-blaster and sprayed carb cleaner and let the set for about 15 min. then took my time taking them out. they all came out very quietly with a little resistance.

We've got it everywhere up here (it's made in Cleveland), but O'reilly auto parts has it on their shelves, that's where I bought mine. I would imagine napa and auto zone has it on their shelves too.

They've got it at the Oreilly's in Baycliff, so I assume they've got it at the one off FM518 as well.
