Change my COP's and plugs.

[NWSCREW]

I'm glad I have an 3" body lift, changed all the plugs and COP's on the screw, sure made a difference, put after market COP's in it, little hotter spark...I could notice a difference...#6 plug was loose..yikes!!!
Here are some poor iPhone pictures.

New Dragon Fire COP's and NGK spark plugs

6" extension with a spark plug socket on it...on the spark plug LOL

#4...what a PIA!!! with out a 3" body lift, wouldn't want to even try!!

New Dragon Fires installed with plugs, sure made it run good!!

#5, upper right, was pretty caked up with crap! I'm thinking it was the misfiring plug..

Sweet! No breakages?!?!

 

[NWSCREW]

Not a one....04 through 08 are the one's know for breaking off in the head, the trick for 98, to 03, the 2 valve motors, is to make sure that the motor is completely cold, and don't forget the anti seize when you install the new plugs..

Ah, gotcha. I was thinking the 10th gens had the breakage problem too.

 

[NWSCREW]

No, the problem our motors have, are the plugs backing themselfs out about half way, then blowing out, taking threads with them, then you have to repair them, it do-able, just a PIA...

Sweet right up. How long did it take?

Good work yo!

Sweet right up. How long did it take?

About 6 hrs, I really took my time, and was careful...if I had to do it again, probably around 4 hrs...

I would start with the driver side first...its the hardest, I had to unbolt the fuel rail, and move it up, and out of the way, passenger side was pretty easy..

About an hour of that was prep, putting anti-seize on the spark plug threads, and dielectric grease all over the inside of the boots, also checking the gap on the plugs.

I bet it's running better... Those plugs you pulled out look terrible.
