8 Loose Plugs WTF??
We did a bunch of work on a friends truck
2002 Lightning with just a chip, traction bars and stock plugs, and under 15,000 miles.
One of my jobs was to change the stock plugs, and install a set of TR6's.
Well when I went to remove the stock plugs, All Eight Plugs were Loose WTF Ford can't you at least tighten at least one spark plug.
Am I asking to much????

3 of mine were loosed from the Factory and Sal told me of many he's come across.
Nice Save Don

When mine was at 12k miles I put in a set of tr6s as well. ALL 8 were barely snug. Not tight by any level of measurement. I was ticked off to say the least! I can only describe them as barely tight enough to not rattle loose.
My 6 year old could have very easily loosened them with a 1/4" wrench.
You know this issue really supprises me. Because I've spent years in ford engine engineering and they tend to be **** about bolt stretch calculations and torque requirements.
