Pulling the plugs makes it MUCH easier to turn the motor over.... you won't be fighting compression.

Yes, you can re-use spark plugs. If they don't look too bad, put 'em back in, if they look crappy, replace 'em.

True gent, you can learn alot about your engines performance by checking the spark plugs, google reading spark plugs and you will find out quite a bit.

Always gap your plugs correctly and use antisieze on them when installing/reinstalling them to keep them from siezing in the head.

you know what? ive been in the army since i was 19. i could of cared less about knowing a damn thing about trucks when i was younger. today it is just more economical for me to work on my own, hence why i ask a lot of questions that need to be EXPLAINED. did you know a damn thing about trucks when you came into this world? **** if that is the case (sarcasm). i have NEVER done extensive work on any vehicles because i didnt know anything about them. i asked about teflon bc someone asked about that in a thread a while back.

should i belittle you for not knowing that the 249 is BELT fed instead of a CHAIN fed weapon? there are no dumb questions. the only dumb question there is, is the one that doesnt get asked...just saying
