Spark plug fitting and best brand

[philsheldon]

Hi
I'm thinking of changing my plugs, as they have never been done and it's a 2002 172. Does anyone have a non-official guide I could to please?? And any recommendations on brand also.
Cheers

It's pretty simple dude.

Just take the manifold off, un plug the leads, un screw the plugs and then reverse it. Job done.

I am a spanner mongoloid and I was able to do it ha ha!

Just get a spark plug socket, about £10, then some new plugs. I got NGK ones from GSF, they were the cheapest place I could find.

There's no doubt a guide in the Guides section, but you've gotta be a member to see them!

No,
stick with the above JackJack has quoted - stories of crappy running (more so than usual!) on anything but NGK ones

Use a torque wrench also 25 nm will be sufficient

Use the right NGK plugs someone has quoted above, make sure the engine is cool (overnight cool is best), use a torque wrench if possible or by hand if your confident you wont strip any threads.
