NGK Iridium Sparkplugs.

Plan.

More photos below.

Time for a tune up on the Supra.  I decided to splurge and try the iridium plugs.


The Project.

We all know what a sparkplug swap entails.  Hey, guess what, no oil in the plug well.  I guess the valve cover bolts work OK.
 

Valve cover bolts...


Difficulty.

1- All that makes this difficult is having to remove the 3000 and other pipes, the coil cover, and the coils just to get to the plugs. 


The Problems.

No real problems.


The Payoff.

I seemed to feel a moderate increase in power.  When compared to a set of worn Nippondensos, this upgrade paid off well, but, when compared to a good plug, I couldn't say.


No photos yet, my capture card is down.
