[QUOTE="Ocala Tom, post: 1052299, member: 78533"] Good morning, yesterday I completed a tuneup with a sparkplug change. I hap been putting it off as I was afraid that I was going to have plug removal issues, but all 8 came out just fine. This thing needed a 14mm socket for plug removal and replacement and the 1st one I tried with a 1/" drive impact socket actually loosened the ss tube that's pressed into the valve cover. I thought I had broken a plug as I had tried the 4 hole 1st. I was able to reinstall it without too much effort but that was a lesson I'll never forget. I also changed my oil. Gonna top it off with fuel today and see if my milage improve any with the fresh Champion Iridium plugs. It had Motorcraft platinum plugs in it and I'm guessing the were the origionals. The all looked pretty similar except the 8 hole. That plucs center electrode was gone all the way to the porcelain. Never seen that before. [/QUOTE]
