I replaced my plugs and tubes today.

Very easy job. Took me about 2 hours but I tend to dawdle and take pic's and am generally not in a big hurry. Probably could have done it in an hour and fifteen mins if I tried.

One thing to remember to do is to check the spark plug gap before you install the new plugs. Usually they are ok out of the box, but one of my new plugs was quite a bit off (wide, not close). I set the plugs at .028".

The tubes came right out using a boat plug. The old tubes were in pretty good shape and so were the o-rings so if I still have any oil seepage its likely the cam cover.

Old plugs were Bosche and I replaced with OEM Beru. Engine runs a little smoother but otherwise no real detectable difference. Old plugs were worn but looked fine.

Thanks for the instructions, they helped a lot!
