Must be honest, didn't think the gap on multi-electrode plugs could be changed.

Excellent guide :)

Excellent guide AA  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Wish my engine was that clean  :-[ I bet you dont even have to wash your hands after working on your engine.

Im guilty of not using a torque wrench as well  :-[

Tho I can add a bit of advice to your guide......do NOT attempt to change the plugs when the engine is still hot....apart from the plugs being a sod to get out......you also burn your fingers trying to get the plugs out of the plug socket  :'(

I'll ask Jamie to amend it to include 'Do not attempt to change the spark plugs when the engine is hot'.

Thanks TD. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
