Frodo, I'll bet you I'm right, don't fret about the plugs, take the rear wheels off and go through the access ports, use an extention and a flex when needed, take your time. Be careful not to over tighten, snapping a plug top off that deep in the head will likely make you invent new cuss words.

Trust me, it's likely this issue, if you search there is a sound file for this I think Scoir (sorry if that's spelled wrong) posted it. To Steve, when Scoir told me about it I thought he was nuts too, that's all I can tell you. I think the high compression contributes to loosening the plugs, I chased the belts, pulley bearings and more, it was the plugs.
