Anybody out there ever have any problems with the spark plugs not wanting to stay in their hole?

Suggestions? Anybody know the proper torqe for plugs on the lightning?

I really hope I don't need to heli-coil the damn thing.

Thanks

The torque spec is 13lb/ft, but it is damm near impossible to get it just right, if you did happen to shoot a plug you may need to do a thread insert of some type, (timesert, helicoil).

The 99-2002 L's have only 4 threads per plughole, and it is quite common to shoot a plug, it is best to check them regularly for tightness.

 

Thank you for the reply. I'm going to give it another shot. Last time I was able to tighten the plug back in (I used the torque spec out of the Haynes Manual which does not include the Lightning Trim).

I noticed that in your pic you track the truck. Solo runs? What type of mods have you done to improve track-ability?

Take care,

Anthony
