[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2134730, member: 15054"] Yes leave them in there for 100,000 miles and see what happens when you try and get them out. Bad info here people...Remove them plugs at 25,000 miles and inspect them or 30,000 whatever but not 100,000 Take them out early and these plugs will come out without breaking.. Plugs will last a long time but as the gap increases misfires will also increase...You can see this on the porcelain of the plug next to the steel body of the plug..it will look like tiny pencil lines...Even if gap does not increase you can still have tiny misfires with your plugs with some age on them. My buddy has a new ford truck 30,000 miles i warned him of the plugs being hard to remove if left in too long..When he got back to TX he replaced them and thanked me for the advice...said these were hard to remove but they did come out no issues... Leave them in for 100,000 and you are asking for it... The old style copper plugs will last a long long time if kept clean and gaped right. I did a test on my 82 ford mustang..kept the original motor craft plugs for the entire life of that car.. cleaned and gaped every 10,000 miles or so....376,000 miles when i removed engine and trans and gave it to a buddy still ran great the car fell apart around it...the day i pulled it, it got 27mpg just like day one...200ci inline 6. You do not need magnetic sockets..a small section of 3/8 rubber hose will work fine or a few other sizes.. Just push the hose into the plug hole and push it onto the plug and walla! [/QUOTE]
