I recentely changed the plugs in my car and I was suprised at how long it didn't take me. I've heard so many times how it took people, hours upon hours, even sometimes days. I think in total it took me 2.5-3 hours, although I didn't do wires but that won't be hard. The hardest plug it took me to change was definitely number 8. Drivers side took me like 25 minutes total. I did change the plugs on my brothers Z about 2 months before hand so I had alittle pratice but still that didn't take me that long. People are right; working around these engines is all by feeling your way.

So what plug took was the hardest for you to change?

 

i havent donmyself yet, i just got the car, but im thinking about doing it. i have a weird question for you. How big are your hands? i cant even reach the last plug on passanger side i think it will be the hardest one for me.

 

I can't get #2 without some time and anger. I just skip the annoyance and get the wife to do that one

 

Took me longer to change #2 than it did to change the rest combined... I got to #8 easily because I had the starter off.

 

I could have changed all the plugs in a little over an hour if it hadn't been for that #2 plug. The plugwires on the other hand were a REAL pain. Trying to get them around the passenger side front corner of the block took me two hours at least. Total job took around 4 hrs.

 

If you pull the alternator, #2 is not tough at all.

When doing the wires, the worst part is trying to figure out how the clips come apart without really being able to see them. I wonder if they are available if you bust one?

 

For me, #2 cylinder is the toughest.

Even with the alternator removed.

 

Odd, I don't remember #2 being hard at all but I did take the alternator off-I don't see how you could possibly do #2 without doing that. I had my biggest problem with #8. I could touch it from about 3 directions but that was all. I finally got it bytaking the starter loose. If the Y pipe wasn't in the way it would be a piece of cake.

 

For all you dual cat guys, by dropping the drivers side y-pipe, you get EASY access to the #8 plug. I'm not sure if you can do that with the single cat because the dual cat y-pipe is in two sections.

 

Not a bad poll (as far as polls go ).

 

I didn't think about that

With my headers, that #2 took me about as long as the rest combined. I have a single cat and the Y-pipe is the first thing to go so I can reach the back plugs, which aren't bad at all

 

#2 and #8. Each took about 25 min.

 

#2 really pissed me off on mine. It took about an hour or so just for this cylinder, got the plug in, went to put the wire on, and broke the plug.....

 

Well since #2 drew blood, I pick that one.

 

im with him!!
