  • Replacing only several spark plugs?

    Well i know this isnt the best idea, but plugs really need to be changed! Can i just do the drivers side plugs then try the harder ones later? ive heard #8 is probably a 2hr job itself?
    will i be alright just replacing a couple at a time?

    thanks jordan

      It took me 5 1/2 hours to do both the plugs and wires. It isnt that bad, just start taking things apart though to get tot he plugs, dont waste your time trying to get them without removing the alternator and part of the exhaust.

        Bro you're better off doing them all at once. You're going to beat the hell outta your hands doing 7 of them, and then you're never going to want to do them again, and you won't have the energy to go back and do the other one later. It is a crappy job, but if you're gonna do it, I would suck it up and do them all man. Doing 7 wouldn't hurt, the car would run better, but hell man.... You don't even wanna look at those plugs again after you spend 5 hours on them. I did my plugs when I did my headers, so.... I can't tell you about the experience. Actually, that was the main reason I bought headers, so I didn't have to do a spark plug job around stock manifolds lol. Buy some headers, it's worth it just for how easy it makes changing the plugs. My MAC's have great clearance.

          It sounded to me like Jordan intended to change all of the plugs, he just wanted to know if the engine would be ok if he just changed some of the plugs and not all of them. Like Rob said, he'll be fine in the meantime.
