Spark plug question
 

so i was reading around about spark plugs for the FRS and i read about how you have to remove the engine to get to it. Did toyota come out with a sst "special service tool" for the spark plugs o.O would suck to have to remove the engine for it :cry:

You don't have to remove the engine, it needs to be lifted about 2 inches. There are a couple people who have done it with the engine in place though. I fully plan on trying this first.

those must be some good spark plugs but hopefully they come with something to make it easier

Stock should be a Denso iridium.

I believe it is and have always been surprised that they can't stay in until 100K miles .

They'll probably be fine at 60K...the problem is why wouldn't you get new plugs since they're out and it's not exactly easy to get them out like an inline engine. Whole lotta effort not to change plugs, nahmean?

I really think you gotta lift the engine there's barely any room to take the coil out.

maybe children have small enough hands to get in there

Toyota did launch a SST for these. It's a set of blocks to help raise the engine a couple inches.

ohhh ok, im assuming that doesnt cost as much as removing the engine:w00t: lol

No. IIRC Warranty labor time from Toyota is around 2.2 hours for spark plugs, but it's been a few months since I looked that up.

dang thats unfortunate but i guess thats the price to pay for owning these beauties >:)

When do you expect to have 100,000 miles on your vehicle?
