Do I need to add anti seize compound? how tight do I torque them? and how do I open the plastic caps around where the spark plugs are? I haven't looked yet. waiting for plugs to arrive early next week.
thanks!
thanks!

Antisieze is a good idea. Wear gloves and apply it sparingly,that stuff gets all over the place.
The plastic pieces on the valve covers are removed with a 10mm socket. The same goes for the engine cover,clamps for the intake hose,and bolts holding down the resonator box. You'll need needlenose pliers to unclamp the several vacuum hoses on the intake hose and box.

I hope I don't have to take off any vacuum hoses.

Super Joe,
According to everyone here...the factory Iridium plugs are the best fit for our cars. dont go with anything else, unless you want to spend $20-25 for HKS plugs, but those are Iridium too. Talk to Steve at Carson (SUPRATRD)

i just did my plugs yesterday i got the "bosch double platinum +4" that's the ones with the 4 ignitors on each spark plug
before you change your sparkplugs clean out your throttlebody that's what i didn't do yesterday
I changed my plugs and cleaned my throttlebody myself very very very easy if you know how to take out nuts and bolts.
