Tried doing a search for sparkplub tsb, spark plug tsb, tsb (which apparently is too general) and couldn't find what I was looking for.

What's actually wrong? What damage does it cause?

Just talked to HardtopGuy about getting a warranty for my car and he says my VIN falls in the range to get this TSB. My dumb*ss forgot to ask him details. So far my car only has 14,800miles. No problems whatsover. No CEL. Acceleration feels fine. But after talking to him, I'm paranoid about driving it until I can get it to a dealer.

 

Just a plug replacement.. new plugs have different washers that supposedly reduce loosening. Franky I think the biggest difference is a change to the torque spec so they do not come out.. which many of us did before Honda said so. A plug leaving can cause major damage.

 

If this loosening did happen and the plug did drop, I'd notice it immediately right?

 

Yeah, but it could be too late.. a loose plug can get whacked and drop a piece or porcelain into the chamber on the way out. If you are worried just check all the plugs and make sure they are tightened to about 18 lbs.

 

Don't have a torque wrench and dealer says the earlier's appointment I can make is not until the 25th. Friggin 20 days from now. Just lame.

How else can I do this? I'm guessing you guys would advise against using a regular wrench since I could severely screw up the threads. Can I just take it to my regular mechanic guy and get new plugs? If so, what do you guys recommend?

 

just borrow a torque wrench from someone or just buy one for less than 20bucks... your gonna need it later too.

 

Beyond that, I'm just gonna need to get the plugs replaced anyway right? Just a straight swap for new plugs? Nothing else needed? (I'm just super paranoid when it comes to cars.)
