Just wondering where the intake valve is situated on the cylinders if I was lookin from the front of the car, ( 3oclock?? ) . I'm going to pull my plugs to check on them soon ( maintainance ), and when I put them back in.. I"d like to have the opening of the plugs pointin at the intake valve.

ummm..... Huh?

If i think what you are talking about, it is near impossible and will not matter at all.

Bud.... uh er Good buddy...

You need to ensure the proper torque on the plug.. orientation won't be a contender if torque is correct.

I doubt there will be any real noticable benefit.. but I just like it that way

I wasn't going to say anything, but now that the subject is out there, I feel I need to comment. If you back off a plug to get a certain orientation, you could concievably back it off enough, say...3/4 a turn, that it could affect your sealing of that cylinder. Then it would affect your performance, but not in a good way.

Is this something that you've heard or read about?

This isn't Forced Induction material...

No no.. not back it out. I've read before that all it does is ensure a fuller burn and if the back is facing the intake it may not burn cleanly as the backin would block some of the air/fuel flow. and would solely rely on the compression stroke to get the air/fuel to the gap.. maybe I"m just tryin to nit pick..

But if it'* not going to hurt ( if I dont' back it out ) or anything.. meh.. why not since I"m going to pull the plugs soon to check on their condition and gap.

Because..you want the proper torque spec..not the correct positiion.

If postiioning is a concern.. consider different plugs that have more grounding tongs..

Exactly, positioning does not matter at all, if it did, it would a big deal with top fuel dragsters. I have never heard of positioning since the manufacturing of spark plugs won't allow it as the ground terminals are all put on different places around the brim of the plug.

ok.. so I won't worry bout it then.. that'll save me time

I never bothered lookin up the specs for torque for plugs.. just usually as tight as it can without overtightening..

Techinfo didn't have it.. not in torque specs of spark plug/gap.. time to fill it in?
