I looked at my maintenance sheet and saw my spark plugs are at 60k miles. I haven't looked at doing them yet but are they a pain? With this engine it seems like it would be easy with a lot of things being accessible on top.


The water-pump does seem high to me and I did some quick searching and people say it's easy to replace (near the belt I believe) so I think I may be able to do that myself.


Thanks!
Yes, spark plugs are a PITA if you haven't done them. I see a lot of people take them to a dealer even if they can kind of turn a wrench. Also they're pretty specific plugs, so dont be surprised at the price of them, lol.

It's a no brainer to do those while the engine is out and apart.
