Spark Plug Change

Miles: 137525
Price: $31

I (finally) changed the spark plugs last week. All told it took me about 3.5 hours. When I started I realized how rusted out my engine bay has become. The first thing you have to do is remove the tank for the wipers and the two bolts almost broke when I took them off...

The contraption the holds the battery on I really did have to bend to get off. I'll have replace that soon. The posts on the battery were really moldy, I cleaned them off which was nice. Here they are before...


The reason is took so long is the position of the spark plugs. After removig the coil packs and exposing the spark plugs it is really hard to get to them. You never actually see them...



Here are two of them of the new ones and two of the old ones...


The old ones had been in their for 7.5 years and 137,525 miles.
