There, I got the word 'loose' into another thread!
I've always been told the plugs were in the intake valley and a PITA to do.
Looking for a little extra motivation as my LX runs great currently...
Hello RobRed,
Have you noticed any mpg improvements since the new plugs? I am at 138 k as well and was thinking about getting on this job soon....

RobRed, thanks for the thread and pics...new Denso's should get here tomorrow & oem plugs get replaced after 116K.
I'd suggest a shot of compressed air down the plug cavity after the coil pack is removed. Check the coil pack resistance as long as you're there. A little dielectric grease at the plug and top end won't hurt.
As to anti-seize goop on the plug...I use it religiously on everything from chain saws to trucks to airplanes. It can save hours of helicoil madness. You won't see a change in resistance nor plug temp under load. Copper based anti-seize will get you to 1800F.
Agreed the FSM doesn't call for it, but it's the same for lug nuts, suspension pieces, etc....it sure makes disassembly a lot easier.

Great post. Need to do my plugs too, this will help. I especially like the tool list and pics. Thanks
