a job well done. noticable improvment after the switchout. no more stuttering from idle. had 8500 miles on the clock when the change was performed. here are the pictures of the surgery.

plug #1 was a freakin *#&$&^*@#$^&*#$ to get out! i had to use a pipe to pull on the socket wrench to get it to budge. then it took me 10 minutes to get the dam spark plug out of the socket.

Did you put some anti-seize gunk on the threads of the new plugs for future ease? Always a good idea.

What plugs did you put in? What filter?

Looks like the stock filter, looks like a fun time. Nothin' better than a little man time in the garage. :hammer:

That's a much better design than my old 1200. To get to it's air filter you almost had to dismantle the hole intake just to get the filter cover off.

stock filter, stock plugs. didn't go the BMC filter route this time around. i will do it next time.
