'07 Plugs Change - Questions
OK, I've read all the posts, I watched the videos but I have a couple of questions:
Some people say the engine should be warmed a little, some say it should be cold. I am in Michigan, so cold so cold won't be a problem! Just want to make sure to do it the best way.
I have been running combustion chamber cleaner in for a few tanks now to help as much as possible...and because I was going to do it myself, then I decided to have the Ford dealer do it until they wanted $95 a plug for each one that broke! Now I am doing it myself!
Does using an impact wrench (I have a Rigid 18v) to loosen the plugs help?
Lastly...Gumout (carb cleaner) or PB Blaster?
Any help would be great!
PS - Makuloco200...great videos

One thing you didn't mention was a Lisle tool (assume you may already have purchased one). Do not attempt w/o this. otherwise if you break a plug you are SOL.
This was my experience, but Makuloco200 did an awesome job, as well.
