SPARK PLUGS ARE ENGINEERED COUNTER SUNK IN HOLES IN TOP OF THE HEADS, WHEN THE PLUGS ARE UNSCREWED THE BOTTOM OF THE PLUG MORE OFTEN THAN NOT BREAKS OFF INSIDE THE SPARK PLUG HOLE. THIS REQUIRES VERY EXPENSIVE TOOLS AND A SKILLED MECHANIC TO EXTRACT. I FEEL THE PART WAS ENGINEERED TO FAIL TO FORCE THE PRICE OF REPAIRS UP. LEADING UP TO THIS WHEN THE PLUGS BEGIN TO FAIL THE ENGINE WILL FAIL WITHOUT WARNING AND WITHOUT THE ENGINE NEEDS SERVICE LIGHT EVER COMING ON. WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND THEIR IS NO PLACE TO PULL OVER YOU HOPE YOUR NOT RAN INTO BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. *TR
