for my 2002 F4i, i used a 5/8 socket for the spark plug; it's the same thing with my corolla.

my 18mm deep socket worked just fine with my 3/8" snap-on flex ratchet.....
did my plugs and wires in like 20 minutes... literally.... helps that im a honda mechanic at a dealership........

as for the click sound at low rpm... that sounds to me like either the valves.... (check valve clearances) or your cam chain tensioner took a **** on you.... mine just did if it makes you feel any better......

got it fixed! the click was from a bad plug and for some reason not all 18mm deep sockets are the same... i used on from my work that was 18mm and it worked fine, but the one from the auto store was too fat... no idea why
