Spark Plugs

Just from some informational gathering. It seems more people break plugs due the lack of the tsb knowledge, using the wrong fluids(solvents), get impatient and or wrong tools.

No need to worry about it Jack. I'm not.

I can only offer opinion based on what I experienced. Right, wrong or indifferent, it surely wasn't a pleasant experience. To top it off, since I changed the plugs. I now have the smell of gas coming into the cab of my truck. To make this so much more fun, there are no visual signs of gas leaking from any place.

I did get it to stop for a week after cleaning up the top of the engine with simple green and a hose. Plus I cleaned up each of the evap lines and put a light layer of thin oil on their orings to improve the sealing. But that wonderful stink of gas has returned.

What he heck would cause this sort of thing?

Oh well. Maybe changing my plugs wasn't a smart choice afterall....

Did you fully check the fuel rails? Maybe you might need some new o-rings? The old ones could have flat spots or cracks.
At the shop we always get a complete set for each injector when we change them. Or did you wiggle a injector?

Just some brain storming.
