@Z... I know it is frowned upon with aluminum heads but I always use anti-seize on my plugs. I put a little on my finger and run it around the base of the threads away from the electrode. Never have a stuck plug. And never had one backout on me. I also use a pea size dab of dielectric grease for the cop boot... never worry about a stuck boot either.


@bamSHO... chicks dig facial scars! Maybe you will get a little extra attention too...

I appreciate your quick input as always!  :) But its believe its seven times a charm on the SHO! Lol. I did let her idle roughly 15 min before shutting it OFF the day PRIOR to changing them without driving it!
The plugs Do look Wet which I'm guessing contributed to my issues! I will try to post some Pics soon,thanks.  Z


Your plugs shouldn't bet wet. What made you want to change them?

It's all good Z, no worries.  Not sure why it's posting crooked.  Guess I'm tech challenged.

Sorry for the late reply! just running around like a chicken with no head & need a vacation.... :sweatdrop:
I know these plugs have seen better days but with roughly 11K on them,figured it would be a good time to change them......
I guess with extensive idling plus frequent local short trips it should be warranted! Btw need to cut down on the antseize Lol.  Z

It may be frowned on but I also use anti-seize on the plugs and di-electric on the boots.  The heck with the frowns from others!

Have to be judicious with antisieze if you do you use it.  Dielectric is a MUST.

I use both and no issues ever getting the plugs out.   I also change them yearly too, no matter the mileage.  Truck was a b*tch cause they never put any never seize on the plugs.  Thankfully they were the updated one piece plugs when I changed them.  Have to do the Escspe's plugs soon too.

Cut open driver's side muffler.   As you can see there is nothing left inside.  As far as I can tell.  The perforated pipe angled from the inlet to outlet covered by packing.  Once the pipe rusted/rotted away.  Bye bye packing.  So basically I was running muffler delete.
