I just picked up an 01 Mustang GT .
The spark plug socket would not fit down the spark plug wells of the motor on the passenger side bank. I had to use a dremel tool and cut some of the factory plastic intake manifold to get the socket to clear. The lip on the intaked manifold was overlapping the spark plug wells.
I'm just wondering if anyone ever had to deal with this. Also, this is the first time these spark plugs were changed (Car has 150k miles:dw
PS I've changed spark plugs on these SOHC motors many times and never had this problem once.
Thanks
