No problem and thanks for taking care of it. Btw,if you use the code marked 'IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards' instead of what you used, you can simply add it directly to your post and it will show ths smaller pic automatically in the post. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Quick question regarding changing the plugs...how cooled down does the engine need to be to safely change the spark plugs?
Does it have to be stone cold, or is sitting for like 4hrs good enough?

A little warm is better. The plug won't be as tight in the threads and you have less chance of galling them.
Not responsible for advice not taken...

So i did get the other plugs finally changed on the driver side. Cylinder 4 and 6 spark plugs were covered in oil <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
whats the significance of this, i know it cant be good?
EDIT: the good thing about the plugs being covered in oil is that the electrode part was completely dry
