    exactly, they cant just tack on whatever they feel like, since you did not authorize work. the shop does need to get approval prior to work, or they can get stuck with it. i though you were saying they should stick to their quote no matter what.

    from most people that have addressed this issue, ford should tell you before thay do the work that they are not responsible for broken plugs and it will be your dime if they break it. I got my nickel anti seize of amazon, big bottle, probably will last a lifeime. i pulled my plugs with 5500 miles, did not have any problems, but they were nasty with carbon buildup

    Changed my plugs today while installing my Whipple. Old Autolites out (7200 miles) - no problems at all. New FRPP HT0's in with nickel anti-sieze. Followed the plug change recommendations - all-in-all pretty simple. Should fire it up by the end of the day tomorrow. Hopefully no issues.

    Plugs

    Everything you need to know about removal of old plugs can be found in the latest TSB from Ford.

    For N/A, most are going with Champion #7989 plugs. Best price, from what I read, is from Rock Auto. I gapped mine @ .044" and it runs great. Don't forget the nickel anti-seize applied to the lower "barrel" of the plug - not to the threads. I bought Permatex nickel Anti-seize from Amazon.com, good to like 2600* F.
