spark plug changes

Spark Plug Removal..Torque!!! [850][97]  ... posted by LT Dan  on Wednesday, 21 March 2001, at 6:49 a.m.

                      This is my first time changing the plugs in my 97 855T, and I can't believe how tight the factory torque
                      is!! Am I turning these things the right way?! (lefty Lucy....)

                      Also, Trollhatten sent 7 WDCs. Shame on them!

                      I'm opting for Bosch Double Platinums. Any other recs?

                      Thanks,
                      Chip Steele

                      Your block is aluminum. Plugs will seize if they are not prepped. Do yourself a favor and go buy some
                      anti-seize prep for about 3 bucks. As for getting your old ones out, just keep trying. And yes they turn
                      left. Good luck.
