Used the search function for spark plugs on my Google photos and here's a few memorable ones I've taken pictures, mainly due to the difficulty of removing them



Boxer engine, less than an inch gap between the rocker cover and the frame in engine bay


GM 2.8 V6, one bank is easy to access but the other is pressed up right against the firewall and hard to do in situ, was meant to have had a full service before purchase but only the forward facing bank of plugs and coils had been done.


Rotary engine is possibly the ultimate faff as you have to jack up car, remove wheel and then use multiple extensions through the tiny gap to reach the side of engine.



Must make sure plugs are re-inserted in the correct order as leading and trailing are at different heights.


Other end of the spectrum, this Toyota was easy to access and whole lot took less than ten minutes.



This had also recently gone for a full service which should have included the plugs but once again they hadn't been changed but had been charged for which is shocking considering how easy they were to access.

The ones that I posted is mid engine so have to take out the drivers seat centre console carpet and then engine covers 18 bolts. Seems like running OK now so might but iridium plugs in. Timing band as fat as I can see looks around where it should be and a ring of deposit. Would we say this is running OK?
