What up everyone? Im looking into replacing my spark plugs sometime this week and was wondering how long i should be looking at it taking so i can work it into my plans. Its best to go from the top correct instead of trying to get them from under the motor. Im an experienced technician, but just wondering how long it should take? Thanks for the info.
HAHA, i never even thought about searching for How-to or anything, thanks. If its like the directions say, i dont see a way for it to take a good 3 hours. I guess ill see when i end up doing it haha. Thanks for the info.

What plugs are people recommending these days? I also need to swap out my plugs and up to this point I have been using OEM. I was debating moving to one step colder (#IKH22 as they are already gapped for the STi).
Coppers all the way. Iridiums are nice but not easily gapped. I just did mine last night and compression tested the car. Took 2 hours total while drinking Firefly
sure. that's why I said coppers for anything else where you need to run a different gap. and iridium != platinum. iridiums are way too expensive for little to no gain IMO (more mileage maybe)
I was under the impression that coppers should be changed yearly and iridium or plat changed at slightly longer frequency?
^^^Just in case someone that has no clue that part number is for 2.5L Turbo's only. The 2.0L WRX 02-05 equivalent is BKR7E
maybe...just entertaining the idea. I'll have everything off in the next few weeks, so it may be easier to change them then, assuming it's worth it.
I can get iridiums really really cheap, everyone who wants a set just post up and Ill order some tomorrow. I don't remember how much they are but I promise its cheaper than what you are about to pay for them.
Did my plugs tonight finally, wasnt bad at all, took an hour. First time doing them on a Subaru, was pretty easy for the most part.
