I did the passenger side from the top -- so I got tired holding myself up.

I did the driver side from the bottom -- so I got tired of holding my arms up.

All of mine were about .010 over -- changed back out with champions.

All looked really good, though. One did have some blow-by, really strange because I didn't have to put the wrench on to get it out. I'll have to watch that cylinder or maybe the factory screwed up.

not as lucky as you think...
08 4.7's have 2 plugs per cylinder as well. one under the coil pack, one farther down on the block in the more traditional location.




one under the green coil packs, the others next to the exhaust manifolds

I think that they have different change intervals though as the lower plugs are platinum from the factory, could be wrong though.

I did clean my TB really well. It was weird.. after I cleaned the TB the truck didnt start. Just cranked. Then I floored the pedal while cranking and it started just fine. Havent had a problem since.. hmm..

Is the little sensor in the airbox that says 5.7 like Mass airflow?
