Went in to work today and about 15 minutes in the power went out. Looks like it is expected to be on around 5:30pm. Working from home the rest of the day.

Did I mention I work for the power company.

The irony is strong with this one.

So write a kickass article and get on the FP.

(I get half credit for recommending this)

I plan on changing my spark plugs tomorrow. I may make a write up on the process. hopefully no issues with the Mustang GT4.6L plugs. The tool for the special removal is supposed to be in today.

Make sure you run the stock plugs, stock temp and stock gap. I had a buddy try to run Bosh +4's and the car hated them. Temp can be changed depending on mods (usually a lot of mods).

Good luck though, I don't think it is too complicated a process.

What mods do you have? I like me a good 2v!!

No real mods. I put the sequential tail light kit on, and a nice sticker on the dash. I got the car when in college so no money then. Now I have a job, wife, and house so more money then before, but still not much in the budget for mods.

Is that one of the Ford blocks known for having seized plugs? A buddy of mine used to work for the Ford dealer and with the 5.4L's they would take them for a ride to get everything nicely warmed up and then pull all the plugs as fast as they could while the heads were still hot. Or if they were really concerned that they would be difficult they would get everything warmed up and pull one side, then replace those plugs and take it for a ride to warm it up again before pulling the other side.

TL;DR - Take it for a ride to warm things up, then pull all the old plugs as fast you can before you start putting the new ones back in.

Also, it is funny how money works like that. More money the quicker it goes! I still think that (to this day) I had more money in college. How did I manage to go out 4 nights a week and afford expensive rent in a nice big house? Who knows, lol, I feel more broke than before.
