Any threads/write-ups on Timesert in cyl 4 or 8?

Tell you what, I'll have TWO beers this afternoon for the socket suggestion.

The plug change is not easy, but nowhere near as hard as all the whining about it would lead to believe.

Mine took about 4 hours. The hardest part was figuring out how to get to the COP bolt on #6 (or #7 maybe?). Either way, the fuel rail had to come up. Unless you had a 7mm ratcheting wrench, I just don't see how you could possibly get to it otherwise. You know, it really want that big of a pain, although I didn't have any issues either.
