Gen 2 V6 Spark Plug Change

[Johnny O]

Day off work today so I changed the plugs. Gen 2 V6 is a little bit easier than a Gen 1. More room to work on the passenger side. Went through the wheelwell but did not have to take the tire off. I went that way to get the socket on and to start the plugs but otherwise I worked from the top. Didn't need anything more than a socket wrench and 6" extension.

The old plugs didn't look too bad but with almost 55k on it and a trip to FL in a few weeks I figured it was time. The old ones were in pretty tight and it took a lot of muscle to get them out.

The manual says .054 to .058 for plug gap. The NGK's were all .056 out of the box, so I left it.

It has the Ford odd-fire V6 like the 3.8 in a Chevy I used to own. :grin:

That's more like the no-fire, as in new fire.
