Spark Plugs

[2coolit]

Thinking about changing spark plugs on my 08 GP, What should i go with? Im gonna change the wires right away too. Anyone got anytips on how to make changing them easier? Bcuz the back ones look like a pain to access.

unbolt the dog bones and rock the engine forward to gain a little more access to the rear plugs

Thought crossed my mind.

I unbolt the dog bones and use a ratchet strap to ratchet the engine forward so it stays there until you are done.

This give you at least 3 more inches.

There isn't a spark plug on the planet that will give you more power. Only way you will be able to add power is by adding things like rockers, cam, or the HV3 insert. And being that it is a 08 you are limited to pretty much that as far mods go, last I heard the 08s couldn't be tuned but I could be wrong on that.

Ah, Yeah i heard that to, something about the computer being locked or something like that, anyways all i know is i would have to send it in to the company in order to get it worked on. And also its from California so it has emissions stuff on it like an air pump... So i dont wanna mess with mods much.

Having the trans in neutral makes it easier to pull the motor forward by yourself if you don't have a ratchet strap around
