Step By Step 14 SHO Plug Change / Torque Specs?

[14SHOCAR]

Does anyone know of any step-by-step videos or documentation on the plug change on the SHO? Any torque specs?

I have a 14 SHO.

I found this video pretty helpful. It's an f150 but most of the procedures are the same. https://youtube.com/watch?v=QES9mgex8cw

Don't tighten much, just snug.  11 ft/lb or 132 in/lb

Can't stress this one enough!  Also, I'd recommend to have a warm engine (not super heat soaked or cold soaked) as you reduce the risk of damaging anything.

The coil on plug pack screws, tighten to just 62 lb-in, not much is needed there as well.

I removed the foam insulator for the fuel injector pump (the big cylindrical foam thingy on the front) to give me more room.  Those stinkin' clips gave the most trouble, it is a two-action disconnect, you pull the red tab down, then push down on the clip and pull out.  (SOUNDS EASY RIGHT??)

For the rear (right hand side plugs),  Believe it or not, you can reach them with a mid extension + plug socket back there, it is just a reach.

Those dang connectors, I swear!

Also the large black tube that travels from front to back on the driver's side (I believe that is the CAC system),  I disconnected the front end of that to give me some play room so I could reach those rear spark plugs a bit better).

Good luck!

Have some spare coil boots ready to go.  They pop off easy when removing the coils and once they're off, they need to be replaced.  They can also be a PITA if they get stuck in the spark plug well.
