Did you just say #6 was EASY to get at? #1 is easy, it gets harder as you go back to firewall. #6 is a prayer at best w/intake on.

Make sure to ream the plug bores with the proper tool or you will be doing it again soon.

And beeeeee rellleeeeeee careful of the metal fuel lines. I disturbed them a bit R/R intake manifold. 2k miles later #4 line broke at injector, created huge mess. 2k miles later #5 broke at IP, created huge mess. I got the memo and went ahead and replaced #6 as it was looking questionable. These metal lines are all but impossible to find from dealer (they have been back ordered around country since March 08). Fair warning...

If it were me (and Ive been there twice now in 30k miles because I failed to ream bores 1st go round), Id replace all 6 at once.

I seldom wait 30 seconds, maybe 5 or so and it starts but stumbles a bit in cold.

All the hard starting (because I was too lazy to replace the glows) also resulted in me having to replace starter (after a tow home 100 miles outside AAA plus towing range). Fair warning...
