is it ok to use platinum plugs for my car?93z28. the guy at pepboys said somthing about putting anti-seize on the plug before i install em. ty

 

yep and yep but stay away from bosch platinum. go with ngk.

 

You definetely want anti-seize so next time your change them you won't want to drive the car off a cliff!

 

Too bad there's no cliffs in Gainesville.

 

You just need a very small amount of antisieze on the plug threads.

 

Yes its okay. The OEM plugs are ACDelco platinum. Use anti sieze.

 

I changed all 8 plugs/wires without removing a single engine accessory. Only tools I used were a socket wrench, 3" extension, and a plug socket. I did it like that mainly just to see if it could be done, but I won't do it like that again.

Words of advice:

The #2 plug will make you want to do bad things to people. All of the wires on the passenger side will make you want to do bad things to the car.:blah:

 

i couldnt get to the 4th plug so i had to jack up my car and get it from under the car. pain in the ***.

 

Do you mean #8 on the passenger side, or #7 on the driver side

I can get all of mine from the top, with stock manifolds and I have'nt had to anti-sieze..

 

hey can you include some details on how you do this. getting all of them from the top with the stock manifolds. thanks lmk.

 

Cylinders 1-6, I use 5/8 spark plug socket, three inch extension, and universal socket..

Cylinder 7 & 8, 15 inch extension with universal socket..

Number 8 is a pain, but I am able to slide my arm down the side, ( using a kevlar sleeve jeg's # 856-39024 ) to extract the plug....
