quick jam...i kno repeat ?'s sorry
hey everyone sorry for the repeat ? but i only have like 2 min on here.. tomorrow im doing sparkplugs (have to drive 60 miles north to the parents house after 9 hours of work) so i was wondering just a couple quick ?'s. I kno there is tons of answers if i search but i dont have the time to read them so sorry
all i have to do is take the cop's off unplug them of course and unplug the injectors(or take them off my choice) right? torque on new plugs? and to use anti seaze on them or not?? thanks guys and sorry again

Wait until your engine has cooled - Use a piece of rubber hose that fits snug over the white porcelain body of the new plugs to thread into the head - helps prevent u from cross-threading -
Personally I use anit-sieze because I believe it helps seals when expanding takes place.
Use dielectric grease inside the boot , top boot seam and seal gap between boot and head when installed to keep water from building up in the SP chamber and guard from pre-mature Cop failure.
Spark Plug Gap 1.32-1.42 mm (0.052-0.056 in)
Spark Plug Torque 10-20 Nm (84-180 Lb/In)
Your going to do everything you mentioned in one day? Changing Plugs on this motor is fairly time consuming 2 hrs at least - if you know what your doing ... If not - it will take twice that.
Good luck - let me know how you make out on it ( :

well just to inform u all... i havent started the truck yet but i finished. it wasnt all that hard but knock on wood i guess. ( im waiting for my air filter to dry before i start it. last night i spend an hour taking off the intake, unplugging all the cop and fuel injector wires, then labeling them. today i blew all the crud out and installed new plugs the only toold needed were 7mm for the cop's, 4inch extension.. also 3.8 drive spark plug socket, 8 inch extension (locking), 6 inch (locking) 3.8 ratchet, and one universal. also a torque wrench. ill keep ya guys updated tho.
