Few Spark Plug Questions
1 I just changed 4 of them (quess which four lol) I had a hard time getting a good feel for how tight they were with all the angles and extentions. I tightened them umtill they were snug and then a little bump about 1/16 or so. Should that be ok?
2 do you think the ones who threw a plug it was from them overtight or to loose?
3 those who heard there plug tapping before they threw do you think you could have see or felt the coil pack moving?
4 the truck drove ok no noticable miss or weird noises should I assume they are ok?
Sorry for all the questions but I am no mechanic but like to DIYS ya know.
Thanks

Yes that is fine.

Too loose..

Don't think you can see or feel anything the moment before you launch a plug. It's best to just check them every so often.

If the L is running fine and you tighten the plugs as you explained your good to go...
