Are you serious? emoji

pull spark plug wire, insert spark plug socket and long extension, loosen old spark plug with socket wrench, prepare new spark plug by gapping it to correct gap, put some anti-sieze on it, put spark plug back in, tighten by HAND with the extension and socket. Be careful not to crossthread the plug. Snug it down, then give another 1/4 - 1/2 turn with the socket wrench. Repeat three times.

I forget the correct gap, otherwise I would tell ya. If all else fails get a chiltons...

I know there's been some discussion on availability here lately...
We get stock, but one range hotter since we run so damn rich, right? Thanks...

for NA applications get one range hotter, so the 5e. Always check your gaps, I don't care if they are suppose to be pre-gapped or not. Almost every spark plug I get is gapped smaller than what we need.

And anti-sieze is a grey liquid type stuff that you apply to the threads of the plug. It prevents the spark plug from getting stuck in your head. At such high temps the plug will basically become siezed in the head, which is obviously not good. Most suto parts stored sell little packets of anti-sieze for 99 cents.

your spark plug gaskets need to be replaced if theres oil on the plugs. Is it a lot of oil or just a little?

No just a few drops. Actually there was only a few drops on the 2 rightmost plugs, others were clean.

i'd keep an eye on them at future plug changes. The seals are an easy fix if/when needed later. Many of us here have had to do it.

just make sure when you replace the seals not to strip the threading on your head like I did, theres so much oil in my spark plug wells now that you can hear it bubbling/boiling when I get above 3k rpms

What heat range do I get?

Say... I go to auto zone... what do I tell them I need... exactly... (other than anti-sieze, et-al)

Do I need some odd extension for socket set? I do have one now, just wanna make one trip and one trip only.. heh.
