Subject: Changing plugs
IP: Logged

Message:
I'm changing my plugs and I wanted to make sure I removed the wires (not sure of the actual name of the black caps that cover the plugs)without damaging them. Also, how do I get to the two plugs located in the front of the engine, with all that tubing over them. Do I need anti-seize on the new plug treads? Thanks!

2001 CC 4.7L

use anti sieze on threads,remove air hat,there is a bracket with 10mm bolt remove to be able to push the tubing out just enough to remove plug wires/plugs.those are coil on plug wires.be careful with the plug wires not to damage coils.good luck.

Don't forget to blow out all the crap at the bottom of the holes before taking the plugs out, or it will all fall into the cylinders.

Unless you are a gluten for punishment use a good douple platnium plug. They use platnium plugs in the HO version of our 4.7. With a good double platnium you put them in and forget about them for 80,000-120,000 miles.

I ran the 3923's in my 4.7.. every 3k miles they had to be gapped, forget that.. i then went with the Bosch Platinum and it runs great, BUT i have heard from a few people that the 4.7 should not run platinum plugs... Not sure why...
