[QUOTE="Daryl, post: 1583418, member: 24538"] Purchased an extra long 5/8” socket, which ultimately did the trick for #’s 5,7 and 8. PITA but it’s all done. I inspected each old plug after removal and noticed a few with a bit of oil on them. Is this ok or does it sound like bad spark plug seals? Then, when I fired it up I noticed a bit of smoke. Not much, almost like a “mist”; nothing black, billowing or smelly. I’m hoping it’s just a coating (?) on new wires?? Any thoughts, comments or suggestions regarding: 1. the oil on one of the old plugs; and 2. the “mist” of smoke with the new wires upon initial start up? Thanks everyone. Hope you all had Merry Christmas’ [/QUOTE]
