Changing spark plugs: What tools do I need?

[peepsalot]

absolutely. Anti Sieze is exactly that. The aluminum head+HIGH temps the plugs get, its not impossible to SIEZE a plug. Thats why its so important.

I thought our head was Iron?

the head is aluminum, the block is cast iron.

Turbo's are supposed to have smaller gaps though, it is harder to spark in pressurized air.

Paschen's Law states that the voltage at which a spark occurs (known as breakdown voltage) is dependent on the product of air pressure (P) and the separation between the electrodes (d).

If you have a torque wrench, the correct torque setting for the plugs, according to the FSM, is 11-16 ft/lbs (15-22 N/m).
