• Q: How to service and repair spark plugs on 2000 Chevrolet Corvette?

  A: The service and repair of spark plugs starts with removing fuel rail covers together with Spark Plug Wires. A sufficient cooldown period must be observed before starting work because engine threads inside the Cylinder Head could stick together. The Spark Plug recess area should be cleaned thoroughly to eliminate contaminants which may cause engine deterioration and you can employ a thread chaser to sweep away any particles on the threads. One or two turns of product release should precede Spark Plug cleaning using either a brush or compressed air around their surfaces. Put each plug in its designated tray that matches the cylinder number when you take them out one by one. Check the gap of each Spark Plug by adjusting it until it reaches a measurement of 1.524 mm (0.060 in). Every Spark Plug requires hand-starting into its designated cylinder before appropriate tightening: new cylinder heads need a torque of 20 n.m (15 lb ft) while all other installations should use 15 n.m (11 lb ft). Reinstall the Spark Plug Wires along with the fuel rail covers as the last step.
