wowww did someone really refer to a mitsu as a mitsu"****y"? one of my good friends got an evo8 with some mods and its much faster than you could EVER make an accord. subi's got more problems mechanically, i think. changing plugs = flat 4 = drop engine to change plugs. haha

you really do not need to waste your time torquing the spark plugs,
, I have replaced thousands of plugs and never torqued a single one . Just tighten them up till the bottom and go a 1/4 to 1/3 turn more ,,( using a 3/8 in drive ) and like it waas adviced use a tiny bit of anti-seize on the threads before installing them

 

totally agree with you. also, many of the plugs are pregapped so i don't worry about getting a gap gauge.

 

True that you USALLY don't have to fix the gap, but it's a good idea to check it and also make sure that they are all the same. Strange things can happen in shipping and a dropped box is not uncommon. If that dropped box hit the ground with your plug's electrode, there's a good chance that the gap is smaller than it should be. Like I said, the gap is USUALLY correct, but I still check it when installing plugs.
