Help Needed Spark Plug Install
Just installed some Brodix IK180 heads. I'm using the recommended spark plug Champion RN12YC but can't tighten the the #3 cylinder....There is no room.
Any tricks?

Most spark plug sockets have a hex cast into the outside on the end that the ratchet goes in. You can put the socket on the spark plug then use a open end wrench on the socket to tighten it.

Cutting a hole in the fender well for a long extension might work.
If you can get an angle on the plug socket; if not, maybe use a universal or buy a long extension with a wobbly end on it. Ask your tool man for one.
