I got to know the local county sheriff as a teenager doing plug chops on empty back roads when tuning on two stroke bikes. How else did they expect me to do it?

Those old plugs look good.
I grew up checking spark plugs in snowmobiles but with 4-strokes and modern injected 2-strokes, those days are gone. Nothing like getting a jolt off the plug while checking for fire. Lucky, I stihl have my modded chainsaw. Even then a pulse tach is needed. Here's some Kevin Cameron of Cycleworld Magazine. https://www.cycleworld.com/how-do-yo...cle-spark-plug |

Same story just replace "grain elevator" with '1954 Ford dump truck engine' and "pull the rope" with 'connect these wires'.

Or replace it all with electric hog fence, and "hold my glasses while I grab this wire"

I broke one on my old ae86. Took me like 2 weeks to realize I should get help in taking it out. Mechanic came over and in like 40sec took it out. Learned a lesson. “Don’t wait too long when changing them and use anti seize.” It’s well worth it. I’m not even going to try for this car. Don’t wanna mess it up with how uncomfortable it’ll be in doing this.
I hope my plugs look the same. I’m doing brakes this paycheck. Running 18 TRDs puts more wear on my brakes. Next paycheck plugs. Gonna stick with oem Denso.

both suck equal. had to remove the DI computer on the passenger side.
had to remove the injector cover for the driver side. removed the strut braces for both. Also I read that putting a conductive grease on these can mess with the grounding. |

Was hoping one side had more room than the other so I could chalk up a win and build my confidence to tackle the other side. But I guess not.
Approaching 100k miles and already bought the spark plugs and belt. |

You really should listen to what others posted like @NoHaveMSG, @Tcoat or others. NGK only says not to use anti-seize because they believe clueless mechanics will over torque things, which is technically true. You're torque wrench becomes offset by 20% with the use of antiseize or a lubricant, but you can easily just correct for this with simple math. The grounding is a non-issue, that's done through the coil packs not through the threads. Get yourself some vibratite 9072 or loctite 76764 and apply a conservative amount to the threads....

Those don’t look bad at all. I’m over 100k miles on mine and got a good deal to do mine so I went ahead and did it.
Had the guy save the old plugs. The head of mine looks like your but didn’t have the dark color on the white. Think I could have gone another 50k on mine. |
