got about 6500 miles, figure it's about time to check into the plugs as people have problems.

anything to look out for?

what should they be torqued to?

yada yada.....

 

Be on the lookout for (loose Plugs!) J/K If their loose then i would torque them down tighter than what you did before! Really your doing a smart thing by checking them it seems no matter how tight we make them they still keep working loose Merrychristmas......JL

 

haven't tightened them before, thats why i was wondering what they torque to

 

I believe it's 13ft lbs but you aren't going to be able to get a torque wrench on some of them so I would go 'finger tight' and then 1/16" more. Remember, they are only in 4-5 threads of that aluminum head.

Here's a picture of the threads.

 

Dan, it's a 1/16th of a turn per the NGK box. Sheesh, have I gotta tell you EVERYTHING!?!?

 

I messed up--won't be the last time either- Oh, about that extension, your g/f said the only '12' you have is a timeslip and she wasn't too sure about that--seems it had 'yellow Corvette' down at the bottom???LOL

Beef: the plugs are in the head at an angle--top slanted towards the firewall.

 

whats the trick to getting to them, an angled socket wrench?

 

No, you don't need(might help?) an angled socket wrench just wanted you to know to slant the ext./socket a little bit to the rear and you will feel it fit on to the plug--it's not possible to see the plug on most of them.
