Default Spark plugs..help...

When you replace your plugs, is there any one thing certain that you have to do?

What are you actually asking? All you have to do is pull the wires and swap the plugs. Then put the wires back on.

Make sure the gap is correct before you fit 'em
The shops always tell you they are pre gapped which is total garbage, nothing is pre gapped
Gap is 0.8 ~ 0.9mm or 0.031 ~ 0.035in for standard, platinm or irridium plugs, get this right and you'll have no problems,
you can't get the plug leads wrong as they are numbered

make sure you do not over tighten them, do not use anti-sieze, and if possible, tighten them to torque specs. if not i belive the manual says something about hand tightening and then 1/4 or 1/2 more or something like that.
