Just replaced Spark Plugs at 140,000. Should I be concerned?..
I have a 2007 Honda Accord LX. I just replaced the original spark plugs after 140k miles. I was not the first owner. Should I be concerned about engine damage or anything? I can take pictures of the plugs if requested.

Is this a four or six cyl engine?
If a v6, my concern is not the plugs but the timing belt. I think the plugs on these are good ~105K. |

It is a 4 Cylinder. I have a drive belt handy I just haven't had a chance to install it.

I was worried about the timing belt - the one that controls the cam shaft(s) and crank shaft relationship.
Your 4cyl has a timing chain. So no worries for you :) The belt you are speaking of is the one that drives things like the alt, ps, ac, ect.....Good idea to change that when you can. |
If the plugs were really bad, you might have noticed a bit of improvement in how the engine runs. Otherwise, I don't see what damage they would have done.
