I really don't see what all the complaining about the plugs on these cars is all about. Have any of you taken a peak under the hood of a newer car and even saw a spark plug? These are really not that bad. I pull my plugs, clean and gap them, and reinstall them routinely in about half an hour.

I've gotten half way decent at pulling and installing the plugs and have changed them on both of my cars. It's not to hard for me just time consuming, but then again I can pretty much sit on the engine.

That's why I drink a lot of water(beer) before this.Mussles ain't gettin any water.Hope this helps.
