In the center of the cam cover (valve cover) you'll find a plate with two bolts holding it down. The one on the drivers side of the engine will say Intech 32 Valve V8. This is called the "coil cover". Romove the coil cover and you will find 4 coils, one for each plug. This configuartion is call COP or Coil on Plug.Hey guys, its an honor to be part of such a distinctive crowd.
I am coming up on 100,000, any suggestions on maintenance? I am considering spark plugs, but I have to be honest, Where Are They??? How do I get to them???

Also, inspect those boots. If hey have not been replaced yet they can crack very easy.In the center of the cam cover (valve cover) you'll find a plate with two bolts holding it down. The one on the drivers side of the engine will say Intech 32 Valve V8. This is called the "coil cover". Romove the coil cover and you will find 4 coils, one for each plug. This configuartion is call COP or Coil on Plug.
Gently.. very gently.. remove the coil from the plug by twisting and lifting. Under the coil you will find the spark plug. Remove them just as you would any other plug.
Hope this helps..
The spec is 7-15 Lb-In!7 pound feet of torque...
Gotcha Max...it's so rare to see you giving out erroneous info that I had to say something.The spec is 7-15 Lb-In!
The spec is 7-15 Lb-In!
Strange... the source(CD Manual) I originally looked up had LB-IN at the top of the torque specification header. Everywhere else I looked had LB-FT.It looks like I've got 7-15 lb ft in my book also.
Dang...thought we had Max on that one.Strange... the source(CD Manual) I originally looked up had LB-IN at the top of the torque specification header. Everywhere else I looked had LB-FT.
The 'official' Ford 1993 Specification Book lists the spark plug to cylinder head torque as 6.6-15 LB-FT.
My apologies for the confusion.
