just be glad your not doin plugs on a 3.3/3.8L caravan before they revised the wiper cowl (those had to be done from underneath the vehicle...easiest) or on the old 2.5L V6 where you had to pull the intake manifold to change the rear plugs

My wifes SUV you have to take the bolts out of the dog bone motor mounts then use a strap to pull the motor forward to get at the rear plugs Damm GM Products.
2003 Buick Rendevous with 3.4 V-6

Don't laugh it was a good deal when we purchased it.

with aluminum head, i would use anit seize, ive never heard that problem with torque setting. 14 ft/ibs is usually just tight with a 1/4 to half a turn, most torque wrenches wont register that amount properly. done may that way work fine. Was what was taught at school but copper for sure, hemi is picky, lol
