Anybody have any tips for a successful spark plug change on a 16 plug Hemi 5.7 from 2005? At best they have been changed 50k ago. Currently at 98k. These run copper standard plugs so 30k is the goal. It idles well currently and no codes but i have little doubt the gap is widening and probably taxing the ignition on a scientific level.
The ONLY thing that makes me truly cringe is the possible "pop" and breakage of a plug on removal attempt. I can deal with removing a wheel for access and the typical three hours of general hassle with this delightful Hemi task.
The cringworthy quality of stealerships at $300-$400 for this plug change have me leery due to prior experiences with other underhood components being elbowed and cracked and manhandled.
