Guest MR JDM Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 I don't see why you'd need to if it's starting / firing etc I'll be changing my copper plugs after 10k and going to Iridiums so I can forget them for a few years lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickie Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 I would take them out for a look though even if it's to clean the soot deposits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Chris_ Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Doesn't hurt to take them out every so often otherwise they end up corroded in and you damage the threads struggling to get them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleario Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Every year. Oil and filter change every first weekend of the 3rd month. But I do about 20/25k a year lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skatz114 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 When you take them out & clean them up, what's the gap between the electrodes meant to be? I'm doing mine this weekend & just want to make sure they're working to their full potential. I've got new ones just incase, Bosch super 4's( I work for Bosch so get em cheap!)
