Secrets to changing sparkplugs...BBC
Okay, I am looking for secrets (not offering solutions) to changing Mercruiser Big Block plugs with Gil exhaust risers installed.
I have twin bored/stroked 454s in a Formula 311 and I can barely see 4 of the 16 plug wires...let alone see/access the plugs.
Are there some secrets?
And I thought it was tight under the hood of my twin turbo Nissan 300ZX!!!

check to make sure they change them all... and not just by seeing 16 dirty plugs on a counter.

Think outside the box a little.
use a hose to go over the plug so you can spin it out and in. Works great.
removing wires done by feel. Putting them back on same way with last snap being a little pressure with just your thumb
to loosen plugs use rachett where possible offset box wrench from below where needed. Tighten same to get plugs out and started back in use rubber hose trick.
