It is pretty easy, do a search - I think there was a post a few days ago on this. Make sure to pick up some antiseize from your local auto parts store to put on the threads of the new spark plugs. This is very important on our aluminum heads.

Torque the plugs to 15nm and the valve cover bolts to 10nm.

See <http://www.modularfords.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=301>. Torque the spark plugs down to 11 lb-ft on a cold engine. Torque the ignition coil cover bolts down to 89 lb-n (~7.5 lb-ft).

Gapping eight plugs is perhaps the most time consuming aspect of changing plugs. Consistency is the key. Be sure to read the condition of the plugs as they are removed. Particularly #7 and #8. See <http://www.ngksparkplugs.com/techinfo/spark_plugs/faq/faqread.asp> and <http://www.densoiridium.com/howtoreadusedplugs.php>.

When you get done see if your car stumbles @ low rpm's in 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Fryingrice and I both have this problem and that was the last mod we did.

Thanks

I changed some last Friday. Take your time. It was not a problem.

Don't forget to get some dielectric grease from Autozone for the boots.
