V8 spark plug change thread??

[Presta24]

Just ordered plugs. I am sure plugs are pretty easy, but I haven't done em on my runner before. Searched for a thread and cant find one. Anyone have a link to one??

4.7L V8

thanks

Yes very easy. If you've ever changed plugs on anything it's the same same.

anti-seize lubricant?

About to change mine as well. What's the word on using anti-seize lubricant or anything else? Is it needed? I was just going to remove the old ones and put in new ones and nothing else.

i never use any anti sieze or anything

Most spark plugs are now coated such that they do not need anti-seize; thus the shiny chrome finish on the threads versus the raw black metal.
However I don't believe it hurts to add some anti-seize.

Use it.

Just asked this myself

I just asked this myself in a separate thread. I have pics.

Did you change yours? What did you have to pull out to get to the plugs? It looks like the air filter housing on the passenger side, but I'm not sure on the driver's side.
